	Travel in Palermo - Sicily, Italy- Italien - History - WorldTravelGate.net®
		Archeologists generally agree that the Phoenicians were compelled to develop these cities because they were forced out of eastern Sicily by the Greeks, but this civilization's presence in western Sicily seemed inevitable.
		The Phoenicians' descendants and successors, the Carthaginians, made Panormus a centre of commerce, and it was their base port, in 480 BC, for the navy that was defeated in the Battle of Himera.
		Panormus was part of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire from 535 until 831, when it fell to the invading Saracen Arabs ("Moors"), who turned many of the churches into mosques.
