The city of Thermai Himeraiai was founded by Carthage using Punic settlers and the survivors of the original city of Himera that Carthage had destroyed in her campaigns against Selinos and Himera in the Second Sicilian War (410-404 BC). The new city was subject to Punic rule and this continued until the city surrendered to Rome towards the end of the First Punic War.
