Ancient Greek altar unearthed at archaeological site in Sicily

Local authorities announced on Friday the discovery of an ancient Greek altar dedicated to family worship, unearthed at the archaeological site of Segesta on the Sicilian island in Italy.

This remarkable altar dates back over 2,000 years and provides valuable insights into the cultural practices of ancient times, Reuters reported.

The Sicily regional government stated that the altar was likely utilized during the peak of Hellenic cultural influence, shortly before the ascension of the Roman Empire in the first century BC. Over the centuries, it had remained concealed beneath a layer of soil and vegetation, preserving its historical significance.
