Ancient Sicily: Greeks, Phoenicians and Romans July 26, 2013

The island of Sicily preserves a rich heritage from antiquity. Inhabited from the Palaeolithic Era, the location of Sicily saw it as a crossroads of the Mediterranean and numerous colonies were established by the Greeks and Phoenicians. Superb cities developed, many preserving remarkably examples of Greek religious architecture. Conflict between the Greeks and the Carthaginians in the 3rd Century BC saw Rome become involved and the eventual incorporation of the island into the Roman Empire.
