- Amphipole
Amphipoles, in antiquity, were
archon s, or chief magistrates, of the city of Syracuse. They were first established byTimoleon , after his expulsion of Dionysius the Elder, tyrant of Syracuse. They governed Syracuse for a space of three hundred years; andDiodorus Siculus assures us, they subsisted even in his time (c. 90 BC to c. 30 BC).
