Selinunt

Selinunt fou una de les principals ciutats gregues de Sicília a la costa sud-oest, a la desembocadura del riu Selinunt, a uns 6 km a l'oest d'Hipses .

Selinunt, en el període clàssic, va ser un ric centre comercial de la Magna Grècia. Va tenir un conflicte permanent amb Segesta, ciutat aliada d'Atenes. No obstant això, els atenesos van ser vençuts pels siracusanos i Segesta va demanar ajuda a Cartago. Diodor Sícul explica que el comandant cartaginès Anníbal Magon, en el 409 aC, va destruir Selinunt després d'un setge que es va saldar amb 16.000 morts i 5.000 presoners. La ciutat va ser assetjada durant nou dies per un exèrcit de 100.000 cartaginesos. Després d'aquest desastre, Selinunt va tornar a ser habitada fins que durant la Primera Guerra púnica, cap al 250 aC, els cartaginesos van traslladar la seua població a Lilibeu.
