Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ADA-AIZ
AEGADIAN ISLANDS (Ital. Isole Egati; anc. Aegates Insulae) , a
group
  of small mountainous islands off the western
coast
  of
Sicily
 , chiefly remarkable as the
scene
  of the defeat of the Carthaginian
fleet
  by C. Lutatius
Catulus
  in 241 B.C., which ended the First Punic War. Favignana (Aegusa), the largest, pop. (1901) 6414, lies 10 m. S.W. of
Trapani
 ; Levanzo (Phorbantia) 8 m. W.; while Maritimo, the ancient leper vi ros, 15 m. W. of
Trapani
 , is now reckoned as a
part

Palermo
