Agrigento: Revizyonlar arasındaki fark

== Coğrafi konumu ==

 

 

Ağrırgento denizi gören ortalama rakımı 230 m olan bir plato üzerinde kurulmuştur. Kuzeyinde bulunan tepelerin zirve sırası şehre biraz doğal bir savunma sağlamaktadır. Şehrin iki tarafında "Hypsas Çayı" ve "Akragas Çayı" adlı iki akarsu bulunur.

Akragas grew rapidly, becoming one of the richest and most famous of the [[Yunanistan|Greek]] colonies of ''Magna Graecia''. It came to prominence under the 6th-century [[tyrant]]s [[Phalaris]] ve [[Theron of Acragas|Theron]], and became a [[democracy]] after the overthrow of Theron's son [[Thrasydaeus]]. Although the city remained neutral in the conflict between [[Atina]] ve [[Syracuse, Italy|Syracuse]], its democracy was overthrown when the city was sacked by the [[Carthage|Carthaginians]] in [[406 BC]]. Akragas never fully recovered its former status, though it revived to some extent under [[Timoleon]] in the latter part of the 4th century.

 

 

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]].
