Description: Ancient Greek Roman Republic Coin Sicily, Tauromenium, Apollo 357 BC NGC VF Strike 4/5 (Most Likely Minted under Authority of Roman Republic)Very Rare Coin from what was then Tauromenium in Ancient Sicily. Tauromenium was part of the Ancient Roman Republic from around 509 BC. It was attacked by Greek General Timoleon around 354? BC. Timoleon, being named by an unknown voice in the Corinthian popular assembly, was chosen by a unanimous vote to undertake the mission. He set sail for Sicily with seven ships, a few of the leading citizens of Corinth, and a small force of 700 Greek mercenaries.[2] He eluded a Carthaginian squadron by an ingenious stratagem and landed at Tauromenium (now Taormina) in 344 BC, where he met with a friendly reception. At this time Hicetas, tyrant of Leontini, was master of Syracuse, with the exception of the island of Ortygia, which was occupied by Dionysius II, still nominally rule. Since the depiction is Apollo it must have been minted und rule of the Roman Republic. (information sourced from Wikipedia).Just received back from NGC.
