Segesta was one of the major cities of the Elymians, one of the three indigenous peoples of Sicily. The other major cities of the Elymians were Eryx and Entella. It is located in the northwestern part of Sicily in Italy, near the modern commune of Calatafimi-Segesta in the province of Trapani. The Hellenization of Segesta happened very early and had a profound effect on its people. The origin and foundation of Segesta are extremely obscure. The tradition current among the Greeks and adopted by Thucydides, ascribed its foundation to a band of Trojan settlers, fugitives from the destruction of their city; and this tradition was readily welcomed by the Romans, who in consequence claimed a kindred origin with the Segestans. Segesta seems to have been one of the first of the Sicilian cities to set the example of defection from Carthage; on which account, as well as of their pretended Trojan descent, the inhabitants were treated with great distinction by the Romans. They were exempted from all public burdens, and even as late as the time of Cicero continued to be "sine foedere immunes ac liberi" - a free and immune city. After the destruction of Carthage, Scipio Africanus restored to the Segestans a statue of Diana which had been carried off by the Carthaginians, probably when they obtained possession of the city after the departure of Pyrrhus. The ruins of the city are located on the top of Monte Bárbara at 305 m above sea level. The city was protected by steep slopes on several sides and by walls on the gentler slope towards the temple. The hilltop offers a view over the valley towards the Gulf of Castellamare. The city controlled several major roads between the coast to the north and the hinterland. Very little is known about the city plan. Aerial photography indicates a regular city plan, built in part on terraces to overcome the natural sloping terrain. The current remains might be from the reconstruction after the destruction of the city by Agathocles. Current archaeological work indicates that the site was preoccupied by a Muslim community in the Norman period. Excavations have unearthed a Muslim necropolis and a mosque from the 12th century next to a Norman castle. Evidence suggests that the mosque was destroyed after the arrival of a new Christian overlord at the beginning of the 13th century. / The Doric Temple of Segesta / On a hill just outside the site of the ancient city of Segesta lies an unusually well-preserved Doric Temple. Some think it to have been built in the 420s BC by an Athenian architect, despite the city not having any Greek population. The prevailing view is that it was built by the indigenous Elymians. The temple has six by fourteen columns on a base measuring 21 by 56 metres, on a platform three steps high. Several elements suggest that the temple was never finished. The columns have not been fluted as they normally would have been in a Doric Temple, and there are still bosses present in the blocks of the base (used for lifting the blocks into place but then normally removed). The temple also lacks a cella, any ornamentation, altar or deity dedication, and was never roofed over. The temple was never completed due to the war between Segesta and Selinunte. It managed to escape destruction by the Carthaginians in the late 5th century. Segesta was one of the major cities of the Elymians, one of the three Indigenous peoples of Sicily. The other major cities of the Elymians were Eryx and Entella. It is located in the northwestern part of Sicily near the modern commune of Calatafimi-Segesta in the province of Trapani. The Hellenization of Segesta happened very early and had a profound effect on its people. Greek Theater / Inside the archaeological park of Segesta there is a theater dating from the middle of the second century BC, based on stylistic and stratigraphic elements, that is, when the city, under the political sphere of Rome, realizes a monumental new layout. Overall, the structure has undergone extensive remodeling in the nineteenth century. We do not have any historical source that mentions or describes this monument and what happened in it. However, given the presence of the not far bouleuterion, it is certain that entertainment shows, like many other theaters of antiquity, went on for whole days from morning to sunset. The ruins of the city are located on the top of Monte Bàrbaro at 305 m above sea level. The city was protected by steep slopes on several sides and by walls on the gentler slope towards the temple. The hilltop offers a view over the valley towards the Gulf of Castellamare. The city controlled several major roads between the coast to the north and the hinterland. Little is known about the city plan. Aerial photography indicates a regular city plan, built in part on terraces to overcome the natural sloping terrain. The current remains might be from the reconstruction after the destruction of the city by Agathocles. Current archaeological work indicates that the site was preoccupied by a Muslim community in the Norman period. Excavations have unearthed a Muslim necropolis and a mosque from the 12th century next to a Norman castle. Evidence suggests that the mosque was destroyed after the arrival of a new Christian overlord at the beginning of the 13th century. The city appears to have been finally abandoned by the second half of the 13th century. The theater is small by Greek standards but seated 4,000. It was excavated in the 19th century and parts of it have been restored. The theater had the typical shape of Greek theaters. It has a semi-circular tiered cavea, or seating area. But, unlike most Greek theaters, it wasn’t built into a mountain. Rather, it was built freestanding and then buttressed with an artificial fill. Worn stones served as high backed spectator seats. They are divided into 7 sections with 6 staircases, which you can tramp right up to take in the views. The theater has been altered somewhat. When the Romans arrived, they enlarged the stage, possibly to fit gladiators. Then, the theater was plundered in the Middle Ages. The theater had, and still has, good acoustics from the sea breezes. You can test it out yourself by standing on center stage and belting out an aria. In the summer, the theater hosts theater events and Greek dramas. The chronology of the theater is much debated. But scholars appear to think it was originally built sometime in the 2nd to 4th century B.C. What you see today is relatively more “modern” than the temple, dating from the 2nd century B.C. Segesta’s city square or L’Agora was built on three sloping terraces from the 2nd century B.C., following urban and monumental models widespread in Mediterranean cities and sanctuaries. The excavation took place on the southern side of the large square where a monumental portico closes the agora. It was built by making large cuts in the rock, as the mighty substructure works unearthed along the slope made clear: a complex as impressive as the one on the north side unearthed in past years. The upper portico faced the square, in front of a monumental building, with a lower-level facade facing the roadway. A wide doorway opened here, with compartments that served an important role: thanks to the new findings, it was discovered that those entering could read on a base, preserved in its original place, the name and works of a prominent personage in Segesta, one of those who between the 2nd and 1st centuries B.C. supported financially and oversaw monumental public building works: Diodorus, son of Tittelo. “It was the base, well preserved and legible, of one of the statues erected by this personage, already known for having erected the statue of his sister, priestess of Aphrodite Urania, found at the Doric temple in the 17th century,” said Carmine Ampolo. “Another Greek inscription, discovered near the gate, thus enriches the picture of evidence of evangelism, there appears the same name that was inscribed on a statue base (now in Palermo) in the theater of Segesta, perhaps that of its financier. Diodorus has a statue placed here of his father Tittelo, who had been gymnasiarch and had in turn financed the construction of a building for the city’s youth. All this evidence clearly shows the role that great families played in the history of ancient Sicily.

The President Honored the Courage of Ukrainians Who Eliminated the Consequences of the Chornobyl Disaster. by President Of Ukraine

In Slavutych, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his wife Olena paid tribute to the Ukrainians who eliminated the consequences of the 1986 Chornobyl nuclear power plant accident.

“38 years ago, the Chornobyl disaster occurred. A radiation accident whose consequences went far beyond Ukraine, and even our entire Europe. The world felt that disaster. But still, it was localized. People stood up to defend life and fulfilled their duty,” the Head of the State said.

The memory of heroes — liquidators of the Chornobyl disaster was honored with a minute of silence.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked everyone who protected lives 38 years ago and presented the Orders of Merit of the third class and the Orders “For Courage” of the third class to Chornobyl NPP employees and liquidators of the accident.

The President expressed his respect to all the people in Slavutych for saving us all then and helping Ukraine in the spring of 2022, during the full-scale Russian invasion.

“Slavutych did not submit to the occupiers. It showed its temper. It fought. It defended itself. And we all saw you right here on this square. We also saw the heroism of those of our people who worked shifts at the station during the Russian occupation. People saved Ukraine in 2022, and it is only people, our entire nation, that will defeat Putin. No evil can stand against brave people who do everything to protect life,” he noted.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy also talked to the residents of Slavutych, including the relatives of the captured National Guardsmen, who appealed to the Head of State to return the Chornobyl NPP defenders home.

“We will definitely return everything. Not only our territory, but first of all our people, all our POWs: both military and civilians, warriors of both our Armed Forces and our National Guard. We remember everyone. We will definitely do it,” the President assured.

Consequences of too much rainfall: Cherries pop up in the tree and then fall by Caravela Coffee

When it rains too much coffee cherries start to open up in the tree like you see in this photo. And if not harvested the cherries fall to the ground.

We had a really stormy weather today and in this photo, I'm watching the world right after things had calmed down a bit outside. These photos don't have too much point apart of that I was a bit bored and downloaded some new gimp plugins, begging to be tried out.

I'm aware that 18mm focal length is really terrible for shooting portraits (I even needed to squeeze the image a bit in the vertical direction cause my face looked ridiculously long before doing that) but I didn't have too much choice. I wonder, are there any small and light tripods that at the same time are stable enough to carry a DSLR camera? At home, I can use the large and heavy one which is older than me and belongs to my dad but that wouldn't be too much fun to carry around.
