Selouros
Selouros ( Greek Σέλουρος ) was a Roman rebel who lived in the first century BC. He led an army in Sicily and regularly raided the region around Mount Etna with raiding raids. He was called the son of Etna and, after Strabo, seems to have led a full army. He is only mentioned in Strabo (6.2.6), who describes him as a contemporary. Between 44 and 30 BC He was caught and torn to pieces at the forum in Rome as punishment by wild animals in gladiator fights.
