The land that became the city of Tyndaris was separated from Abakainon, a city of the native Siculi who's territory it was previously a part of, by the Syracusan tyrant Dionysios in 396 BC when he settled the Messenian exiles driven from their homes during the Peloponnesian War on this site. Named by the original Messenian inhabitants after their native deities the 'Tyndariae', who were the son and stepson of the king of Sparta Tyndaris and whom are more often known as the Dioscuri, it is fitting that under Roman rule the coinage should feature the brothers as a reverse type as seen here (cf. Calciati I, 18 & 22) and the city should continue to flourish.
