Intro to Ancient Rome
Syracuse was an ancient Greek city-state located on the eastern coast of Sicily, founded by Greek settlers from Corinth in the 8th century BCE. It became one of the most powerful and influential cities in the Mediterranean, playing a vital role in trade, culture, and military activities during the classical period. The city's strategic location allowed it to become a hub for commerce and a significant player in the conflicts between Greek city-states and later with the Roman Republic.
