Hamilcar Barca Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 I'm having trouble finding the actual dates for the siege of Syracuse because different sources say different things. Which of these is correct? a.) 214BC - 212BC b.) 214BC - 211BC c.) 213BC - 211BC Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germanicus Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 The (warning) extreemly limited reading I've done on the subject has all indicated the seige began in 213, and that Archimedes died in 212, during the sack of the city. Some then go on to say the city was captured in 211, but in my thinking sacking the city seems equivalent to capture, so maybe 213-212 ?
