Summary from Italiano / Italian Wikipedia (itwiki)

Casmene (in greco antico Κασμέναι Kasménai; in latino Casmenae) fu una colonia greca, più precisamente siracusana, fondata nel 644 a.C. circa nell'immediato entroterra, in una posizione strategica per il controllo della Sicilia centrale, e utilizzata come avamposto militare sulla via interna chiamata Selinuntina, che da Siracusa portava a Selinunte.

Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Casmenae or Kasmenai (Ancient Greek: Κασμένη or Κασμέναι, Casmene in Italian) was an ancient Greek colony of Magna Graecia located on the Hyblaean Mountains, founded in 644 BC by the Syracusans at a strategic position for the control of central Sicily. It was also intended as a military forward-position on the Via Selinuntina road that connected Syracuse to Akragas (modern-day Agrigento) - also on that road were Gela and Akrillai to Casmenae's west and Akrai to its east. Destroyed by the Romans in 212 BC, Casmenae was abandoned during the 3rd century BC and never inhabited again.
