Threatened by Carthage and its ally Selinos, the Syracusans asked help from their old home. Corinth sent General Timoleon, accompanied by a small group of mercenaries. Timoleon quickly put order in Syracuse' affairs and repelled Carthage in several wars, ending with a treaty which divided the island with Carthage.
A Corinthian leading a Corinthian army, it is not hard to imagine why Timoleon picked the classic coin types of Corinth when new coins were struck by his new city Syracuse. They were later used by Agathokles too.
