Founded 800 3. c.
Messina is a town of great antiquity,
its foundation being ascribed to pl-
rates from Cumae in the eighth CEN
fury B. c., when it was known as Zan-
Gle "a sickle), in allusion to the shape
of it's harbor.
At the end of the fifth century B. G.
the town was occupied by fugitives
from Samos and Miletus, and it soon
after passed to Anaxilas, the tyrant OF
Rhegium, who introduced there Mes
senians from the Peloponnesus, by
whom the name of the city was
changed to Messana.
After the death of Anaxilas Messana
became a republic and maintained that
status until it's destruction by the Car
thaginians during their wars with
Dionysius of Syracuse at the begin
ming. of the fourth century B. G. It
was rebuilt by Dionysius, but soon fell
again into the hands of the Carthagin-
ians, who were finally expelled by Tim
oleon in B. c. 343. III -
Once Belonged to Rome.
During the war between Agathocies
of Syracuse and Carthage, Messana
sided with the Carthaginians. The

possession Of Rome, and the town sub
