Figures

Associated figures

Gods and people named with this place — as its founders, or in their own records.

What this means

Founders are named by this place's own record, and a founding is an attribution, often contested. The rest are read from the other end, computed from their records rather than this one. Being named with a place is not being documented there in any given year.

Within the site

Inside Selinunte

4 recorded places within the site, from their own records.

What this means

A place listed here names this site as its whole or its location in its own record; the build reads that from the place’s end, so the row is computed rather than stated by the site. It does not imply that the site as a whole was a place of worship, that its parts were in use at the same time, or that these are all the places it held.

Site history & evidence

What is documented here

Each kind of evidence on its own row, because they do not add up.

Evidence On record What it shows
Site date Dated 628 BCE – 250 BCE On the timeline A date for the site as recorded — not a date of worship there.
Location Recorded to the site On the atlas A coordinate for the place. It locates the site; it does not draw its extent.
Dated activity None recorded A pin is a place, not an event. What happened at Selinunte, and when, is a separate claim, and this import holds none: it carries site locations, not dated activity.

Nearby

Places nearby

The nearest this collection holds, measured between recorded coordinates.

What this means

Computed from coordinates, not stated by any source. Nearness is geometry, not a connection: two sites a kilometre apart may never have shared a worshipper, a tradition or a century. Where either coordinate is recorded only to a district, the distance is rounded and says “about”.

Connections

How Selinunte connects

Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.

Recorded events and days 1

What this means

Events Wikidata records in a subject’s history, and the day a festival is kept. Not a complete history, and the day a festival falls on is not when it began.

Does not imply that these are all the events in its history · that Wikidata ranks the events by importance

Imported from Wikidata unless a tile says otherwise. Nothing here has been read by an editor.

Review

Not yet read by an editor here. Every relationship on this page is an import.

Computed Worked out here, not stated by any source: 3 recorded places within it. Each is marked where it is shown.

Disagreements are kept, not resolved, and a count of sources is not a confidence score.
