 | | In 104 b.C. the slaves revolts in Sicily, the so-called servile wars, which were suppressed in blood in 99 b.C., began just from Segesta under the guide of Atenione. | | | But the victory of Carthage marked the beginning of Segesta's decline, which lost its political independence. | | | In 339, after the famous battle of Crimiso (the present "Fiume Freddo"), during which the people of Syracuse guided by Timoleonte won against Asdrubale and Amilcare at the head of the people of Carthage, Segesta formed an alliance with Agatocle of Syracuse. |

| | SEGESTA |
| | In 409 BC, Segesta turned to Carthage for support: on landing in Sicily, these troops destroyed both Selinus and Himera, In turn, Segesta was destroyed by the Syracusan tyrant Agathocles in 307 BC, and rose again under the Romans. | | | In the 5C BC, it was pitched against its great rival Selinunte (Selinus): in an attempt to rally its defences against this threat, Segesta appealed for help from Athens in 415 BC, but these reinforcements were defeated by Syracuse whose forces were allied to Selinunte. | | | Subsequent developments are not documented, although it is thought that the city probably succumbed to further damage by the Vandals in the 5C AD. |

| | Best of Sicily - Segesta |
| | The most logical conclusion that can be drawn from all the available evidence is that the Elymians were a people of eastern Mediterranean origin who rapidly amalgamated with at least some of their indigenous neighbors. | | | Segesta (anciently Egesta) was one of the few Sicilian cities founded by the Elymians, one of the so-called indigenous peoples of Sicily. | | | Before the Athenians would consider Segesta an ally, they deemed it proper to send a delegation of diplomatic envoys to investigate the city's claims of great wealth. |

| | This temple is quite unique, not only because of how well-preserved it is.

| | Segesta was the ancient city of the Elymi, a people of mysterious origin who are linked by some to the Trojans. | | | For some visitors, that's reason enough because it's one of the best-preserved ancient temples in all of Italy. | | | The Athenians came from the east to aid the Segestans in 415 B.C., but the expedition ended in disaster, eventually forcing the city to turn for help to Hannibal of Carthage. |
