According to Thucydides, Akragas was founded 153 years after Syracuse, or about 581 B.C., but some would date its founding a little earlier, about 600. Its ancient rulers included the tyrant Phalaris (tyrant 570-554), famous for the metal bull inside which he would roast his enemies to death, and for the tyrant Theron (488-472). The city was sacked by the Carthaginians in 406/405, by the Romans in 261, by the Carthaginians again in 255, and by the Romans again in 210, at which time the inhabitants were enslaved. Rough neighborhood.
Sounds like Camden, New Jersey.
