Adranon (Ancient Greek: Ἀδρανόν) or Adranos (Ancient Greek: Ἀδρανός), present day Adrano, was an ancient polis of Magna Graecia on the southwestern slopes of Mount Etna, near Simeto River. It was known for the "simetite" variety of amber. The ancient city was founded by the ancient Greek ruler Dionysius I of Syracuse around 400 BC upon a pre-Hellenic neolithic settlement, near a temple dedicated to the god Adranus, worshiped throughout Sicily. Adranus was associated with volcanoes and equated eventually with Hephaestus. The city was conquered by Timoleon at 343-342 BC and subjugated to Rome in 263 BC. Romans declared it a civitas stipendiaria (city that had to pay tribute to Rome).
