Antique Greeks

Coin, before 405 BCE, Sikeliote (Sicilian Greek) © Royal Library of Belgium, du Chastel coll., nr. 112
I don't know about you, but when I think Sicily, I tend to think Italy, not Greece. But the Greeks were an integral part of Sicily's history, as I learned from these pages accompanying the Getty Villa's exhibit called Sicily: Art and Invention Between Greece and Rome (museum website with story, audio): http://www.getty.edu/art/exhibitions/sicily/greeks.html
