| | Best of Sicily - Selinunte |
 | | The Carthaginians used some minor border skirmishes between Selinunte and the Elami as an excuse to march upon Selinunte to aid their old allies. | | | This neutrality on the part of Selinunte did not earn the city many Greek friends. | | | Selinunte is an abandoned ancient Greek city, with ruins of an acropolis and numerous temples. |

| | Antica città di SELINUNTE |
| | Although, in the end, it was destroyed in 409 BC by the Carthaginian Hannibal who used ferociously cruel methods in winning supremacy: this resulted in the death of 16,000 Selinuntini and the capture of a further 5000 as prisoners (according to the account given by Diodorus Siculus). | | | For a long time, Selinunte allied itself to Carthage, in the hope of securing support in the fight with its rival, Segesta. | | | Evidence of the town’s flowering is to be found in the extensive area allocated to sacred ritual and public use, concentrated in three distinctive districts. |

| | March 2000 - Selinunte |
| | If not to create suggestive images, it is not worth taking photographs when the sun is too low because the shadows will be too long and marked. | | | The temples of Selinunte were the greatest and most imposing Greek constructions in Sicily after those of Agrigento and they were second only to a few others in the entire country. | | | Extraction was unexpectedly interrupted in 409 BC, when Selinunte was defeated by the Carthaginians and the allied Segestans (it seems that 16,000 people died and 5,000 were slaughtered; only 2,500 inhabitants managed to escape and find shelter in Agrigento). |

| | Other comments on your comments: I loved the Selinunte site, too. | | | Selinunte, on the other hand, had relatively few tourists, open temples that you could sit in and let the sight sink into you, and actually had MORE archeological goodies than the Valley of the Temples has. | | | Selinunte also has the remains of 2 other temples, plus an acropolis of the ancient city you can visit. |

| | Selinunte |
| | After the battle of Himera Selinunte allied itself with Syracuse against Carthage, and in 409 B.C. the Carthaginians, summoned to the help of Segesta, the mortal enemy of Selinunte, sent an army of 100,000 under Hannibal, son of Gisco, which took Selinunte by assault before the allied troops of Agrigentum and Syracuse could arive. | | | Selinunte (Greek Selinus) was founded under the leadership of Pammilos by the colonists from Megara Hyblaea, probably as early as 651 B.C. It takes its name from the wild celery (Greek selinon), which still grows here in abundance. | | | During the Middle ages the name of Selinunte was completely forbidden after a terrible earthquake that wiped out the last few remaining structures. |

| | Selinunte : Introduction |
| | Much of Selinunte's history involves seemingly endless conflicts with the Elymi people of Segesta. | | | One of the superb colonies of ancient Greece, Selinunte traces its history to the 7th century B.C., when immigrants from Megara Hyblaea (Syracuse) set out to build a new colony. | | | Siding with Selinunte's rival, Hannibal virtually leveled the city in 409 B.C. The city never recovered its former glory and ultimately fell into decay. |

| | The Elymian people in Segesta were soon hellenized, taking up the greek way of life. | | | Segesta remained an ally of Carthago, it was besieged by Dionysos of Syracuse in 397 BCE, and it was destroyed by Agatocles in 307 BCE, but recovered. | | | The first clashes were in 580-576 BCE, and again in 454 BCE, but later the conflict would have repercussions for all of Sicily. |
