The 1960 film Siege of Syracuse dramatizes the events of the siege. The events surrounding the siege are the basis for the manga Heureka by Hitoshi Iwaaki. The Siege of Syracuse is a campaign mission in the Rise of Rome expansion of Age of Empires, where players play as the Roman civilization to defeat the Carthaginians.
The siege lasted from August 877 to 21 May 878 when the city, effectively left without assistance by the central Byzantine government, was taken by the Aghlabid forces. Following their first landing in Sicily in the late 820s, the Aghlabids had tried several times, without success, to capture Syracuse.
