Selinunte Greeks called it “Selinus”, derives its name from “σέλινον, Selinon”, parsley who still grows wild, became a symbol of the coinage of the city. Founded by Megara Hyblea in 650 BC, the city had a short life lasting about 240 years. Its destruction was due to both the arrival of the Carthaginians both nmerosi and violent earthquakes. In the second half of the sixteenth century, the city was rediscovered by historian Thomas Fazello. In 1823 the British undertook archaeological excavations.
