Use this path for Syracusan silver, signed dies, Sicilian civic issues, and older references to BMC Sicily or Evans. BMC Sicily is the broad catalogue base; Evans is the focused starting point for dekadrachms, medallions, Kimon, Euainetos, and related large silver.
Hill gives a concise historical survey of Sicilian coinage, while Weber is useful when the clue is a collection citation or a plate match rather than a civic catalogue number.
