The Hannibalian War — The Recovery of Tarentum
THE distance from the strait and town of Rhegium to
B.C. 209, Coss. Q. Fabius Maximus V. Q. Fulvius Flaccus IV.
Tarentum is more than two thousand stades;
and that portion of the shore of Italy is entirely destitute of harbours, except those of
Tarentum: I mean the coast facing the Sicilian
sea, and verging towards Greece, which contains the most
populous barbarian tribes as well as the most famous of the
Greek cities. For the Bruttii, Lucani, some portions of the
Daunii, the Cabalii, and several others, occupy this quarter
of Italy. So again this coast is lined by the Greek cities of
Rhegium, Caulon, Locri, Croton, Metapontum, and Thurii: so
that voyagers from Sicily or from Greece to any one of these
cities are compelled to drop anchor in the harbours of
Tarentum; and the exchange and commerce with all who
occupy this coast of Italy take place in this city. One may
judge of the excellence of its situation from the prosperity
attained
