Eunus, the chief of Sicily’s rebellious enslaved…

Eunus, the chief of Sicily’s rebellious enslaved population, has at one time two hundred thousand men and women as his followers, probably including children.

Little is known about Eunus's actual participation in the war.

Only his enemies leave accounts of him, and they give credit for his victories to his general, Cleon, but Eunus must have been a man of considerable ability to have maintained his leadership position throughout the war and to have commanded the services of those said to have been his superiors.

Archaeologists have found a small bronze coin, minted at Enna, which bears the inscription "King Antiochus."

It is likely that the Antiochus in question is Eunus.
