Philistis was a son of Leptines – a popular and influential man at Syracuse. She was married to Hieron, one of the generals of Pyrrhos of Epirus,
after the latter’s departure from Sicily and Hieron’s appointment by the soldiers and citizens of Syracuse as commander of the troops.
Following Hieron’s acclamation as King by the citizens of Syracuse for his defeat of the Mamertines, Philistis thus became Queen.
Her son Gelo co-ruled with Hieron for some twenty five years, but he died a year before his father.
The throne therefore passed to Hieronymus, Hieron’s grandson who was then only fifteen years old. (source: Roma Numismatics)

Obverse: Veiled and diademed head of Philistis l, behind, ear of barley,
