520 8  The island of Sicily was a highly contested area 
       throughout much of its history. Among the first to exert 
       strong influence on its political, cultural, 
       infrastructural, and demographic developments were the two
       major decentralized civilizations of the first millennium 
       BCE: the Phoenicians and the Greeks. While trade and 
       cultural exchange preceded their permanent presence, it 
       was the colonizing movement that brought territorial 
       competition and political power struggles on the island to
       a new level. The history of six centuries of colonization 
       is replete with accounts of conflict and warfare that 
       include cross-cultural confrontations, as well as 
       interstate hostilities, domestic conflicts, and government
       violence. This book is not concerned with realities from 
       the battlefield or questions of military strategy and 
       tactics, but rather offers a broad collection of 
       archaeological case studies and historical essays that 
       analyze how political competition, strategic 
       considerations, and violent encounters substantially 
       affected rural and urban environments, the island's 
       heterogeneous communities, and their social practices. 
       These contributions, originating from a workshop in 2018, 
       combine expertise from the fields of archaeology, ancient 
       history, and philology. The focus on a specific time 
       period and the limited geographic area of Greek Sicily 
       allows for the thorough investigation and discussion of 
       various forms of organized societal violence and their 
       consequences on the developments in society and landscape.
