  • The Siege of Syracuse by the Roman Republic took place in 214-212 BC, at the end of which the Magna Graecia Hellenistic city of Syracuse, located on the east coast of Sicily, fell. The Romans stormed the city after a protracted siege giving them control of the entire island of Sicily. During the siege, the city was protected by weapons developed by Archimedes. Archimedes, the great inventor and polymath, was slain at the conclusion of the siege by a Roman soldier, in contravention of the Roman general Marcellus' instructions to spare his life.
  • El Sitio de Siracusa, llevado a cabo por la República romana, tuvo lugar en 213-211 a. C. , al final del cual cayó Siracusa, polis griega situada en la costa oriental de Sicilia. Los romanos asolaron la ciudad y como consecuencia de ello, obtuvieron el control del este de Sicilia. Durante el asedio, la ciudad fue defendida con las armas que desarrolló Arquímedes, en respuesta al requerimiento de Hierón II, tirano de Siracusa. Arquímedes fue asesinado al final del asedio por un soldado romano, contraviniendo las órdenes del general romano, Marcelo, de respetar la vida del gran matemático griego.
  • Le siège de Syracuse est un siège effectué par les Romains durant la deuxième Guerre punique, de 215 à 212 av. J. -C.. Après trois ans de siège, Marcus Claudius Marcellus s'empare de la ville malgré les ingénieuses défenses conçues par Archimède. Dans le pillage qui suit la prise de la ville, un soldat romain tue Archimède sans le reconnaître.
  • L'assedio di Siracusa, si riferisce all'assedio operato dalle truppe romane di Marcello alla città di Siracusa nel 212 a.C.
