On the Tyrrhenian Sea about 100 km N of Reggio Calabria. A settlement
of Chalkidians of Rhegion was occupied at the beginning of the 6th c. B.C. by
Lokrians in the course of their W expansion. Between the 5th c. and the Roman
period there are few records: the settled life must have moved S of the Petrace
river (ancient Matauros) into the ancient center of Taurianon. The poet Stesichoros
was most likely a citizen of Matauros and from there moved to Himera.
In the area of Due Pompe, excavations have revealed a necropolis,
which was used during three major periods. The oldest period (cremation) comprised
the 7th c. and the first half of the 6th c. B.C., and provides late proto-Corinthian
ware; Ionic ware (Ionic cups B1 and B2); Greco-oriental ware (alabaster on grey
bucchero and glazed figured vases); Attic black-figure ware (a kotyle of the painter
KX). The middle period (inhumation) lasted from the middle of the 6th c. until
the beginning of the 5th c. B.C. The final period (covered tombs) spans the period
from the 2d c. to the 3d c. A.D.
In the area of Masseria Fava, an imperial villa has been partially
excavated, along with its attached bath complex. Occasionally, a cache of Carthaginian
and Neapolitan coins of the Hellenistic period is discovered. Related to the construction
of a temple are the remains of a terracotta equestrian group, perhaps an acroterion
of the Lokrian type, dating to the beginning of the 5th c. B.C. and contemporary
with other terracotta finds.
The city itself, of which nothing is known, is probably covered over
by the present settlement. The finds are preserved in Reggio Calabria and in New
York.
