Queen Demarete was the wife of Gelon, tyrant of Syracuse. In 480 B.C., Gelon defeated a Carthaginian attempt to dominate Sicily at the battle of Himera, thus laying the foundation for Syracusan preeminence on the island.

The Queen used the proceeds to produce a silver decadrachm to commemorate the victory.
