Historical background


SICILY - MORGANTINA

(5th - 4th century BC)

It was around 560 BC that people settled in what was to become Morgantina. The City was almost completely destroyed in 459 BC and had great difficulty in recovering. The city followed the destinies of Syracuse from Timoleon around 340 BC and experienced a brilliant renaissance under the reigns of Agathocles and Hieron II.
