In 384 Dionysios I of Syracuse raided the south coast of Etruria and returned to Sicily with a band of Etruscan soldiers who had surrendered. He probably settled them in the vicinity of the Sileraioi, near present-day Alimena. Here these Etruscan mercenaries struck coins naming themselves as the Tyrrhenoi - the Greek exonym for the Etruscans (their own name for themselves being Rasenna). This mercenary mint ceased to mint coinage overstruck on Syracusan drachmae when the Tyrrhenoi were wiped out by Timoleon in the 330s BC.
