Naxos, Sicily, c. 415 - 403 B.C.
|Other| |Sicily|, |Naxos,| |Sicily,| |c.| |415| |-| |403| |B.C.|, The late fifth century saw an explosion in the quantity and quality of dies engraved for the great cities of Sicily. Among the engravers who signed their works is Prokles, who created dies for both Naxos and Katane, on whose tetradrachms we find his full signature. Though the quality of his work for Katane is equally excellent as it is for Naxos, the quantity of his work at Naxos suggests that this was his home city.
