Westermark 47-55; SNG ANS 158 (20 mm, 7.1 Gm) When Theron took control of Himera, expelling Terillus and setting in motion the sequence of events that led to the Carthaginian invasion of 480, he had at once altered the city's coinage in order to proclaim its subordination to Acragas . On the obverse he kept the rooster (a type parlant, punning on Himera's name), but on the reverse he placed a crab, the symbol of Acragas' coinage and also a type parlant, and converted the coinage to the Attic standard used by Acragas, with the didrachm as its largest denomination.
