The city was disputed between the [[Ancient Rome|Romans]] and the Carthaginians during the [[First Punic War]]. The Romans laid [[Battle of Agrigentum|siege to the city]] in 262 BC and captured it after defeating a Carthaginian relief force in [[261 BC]] and sold the population into slavery. Although the Carthaginians recaptured the city in 255 BC the [[Treaty of Lutatius|final peace settlement]] gave Punic Sicily and with it Akragas to Rome. It suffered badly during the [[Second Punic War]] (218-201 BC) when both Rome and Carthage fought to control it. The Romans eventually captured Akragas in 210 BC and renamed it ''Agrigentum'', although it remained a largely Greek-speaking community for centuries thereafter. It became prosperous again under Roman rule and its inhabitants received full Roman citizenship following the death of [[Julius Caesar]] in [[44 BC]].
After the [[fall of the Roman Empire]], the city passed into the hands of the [[Ostrogothic Kingdom]] of Italy and then the [[Byzantine Empire]]. During this period the inhabitants of Agrigentum largely abandoned the lower parts of the city and moved to the former [[acropolis]], at the top of the hill. The reasons for this move are unclear but were probably related to the destructive coastal raids of the [[Saracens]], [[Berber people|Berbers]] and other peoples around this time. In 828 AD the Saracens captured the diminished remnant of the city. They pronounced its name as ''Kerkent'' in Arabic; it was thus [[Sicilian language|Sicilianized]] as "Girgenti". It retained this name until 1927, when [[Benito Mussolini]]'s government reintroduced an [[Italian language|Italianized]] version of the Latin name.
Agrigento was captured by the [[Italo-Normans|Normans]] under [[Roger I of Sicily|Count Roger I]] in 1087, who established a Latin bishopric there. The population declined during much of the medieval period but revived somewhat after the 18th century. In 1860, the inhabitants enthusiastically supported [[Giuseppe Garibaldi]] in [[Expedition of the Thousand|his conquest of southern Italy]] (in the course of the [[Unification of Italy]]). The city suffered a number of destructive bombing raids during [[World War II]].

However, nowadays Agrigento is one of the poorest towns in Italy on a per capita income basis and has a long-standing problem with [[organised crime]], particularly involving the [[Mafia]] and the smuggling of [[illegal drugs]]. In 2010, the [[unemployment rate]] in Agrigento was equal to 19.2%<ref>http://www.ilsole24ore.com/art/economia/2011-04-01/agrigento-investimenti-palo-205839.shtml?uuid=AaBHtQLD</ref>, almost triple the national average.
Agrigento is a major tourist centre due to its extraordinarily rich archaeological legacy.
It also serves as an agricultural centre for the surrounding region.
[[Sulphur]] and [[potash]] have been mined locally since Minoan times until the 1970s, and were worldwide exported from the nearby harbour of [[Porto Empedocle]] (named after the philosopher [[Empedocles]] who lived in ancient Akragas).
