Segesta

Umberto Luparelli has added a print to a pool:

Segesta

Segesta was a political center of a Elymian people, located in a northwestern partial of Sicily, in what have been right away a range of Trapani as well as a comune of Calatafimi-Segesta.
According to a tradition used in Virgil's Aeneid, Segesta was founded mutually by a territorial king Acestes (who was son of a local stream Crinisus by a Dardanian woman declared Segesta or Egesta) as well as by those of Aeneas' folk who wished to sojourn behind with Acestes to found a city of Acesta.
The idea which a name of a city was creatively Acesta or Egesta as well as altered to Segesta by a Romans to avoid its ill-omened definition in Latin is disproved by coins display which Segesta was indeed a earlier name.
Segesta (Egesta to a Greeks) was a single of a vital cities of a Elymian people, a single of a three indigenous peoples of Sicily. The alternative vital cities of a Elymians were Eryx as well as Entella.
The population of Segesta was mixed Elymian as well as Ionian Greek, yet a Elymians shortly Hellenized as well as took upon outmost characteristics of Greek life. Wikipedia
