HALAESA

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 829 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GUI-HAN
HALAESA , an ancient town on the north
coast
  of Sicily, about 14 M. E. of Cephaloedium [
Cefalu
 ], to the
east
  of the modern
Castel
  di Tusa, founded in 403 B.C. by Archonides,
tyrant
  of Herbita, whose name it sometimes bore: we find, e.g. Halaisa Archonida on a coin of the time of
Augustus
  (Corp. inscrip. Lat. x., Berlin, 1883, p. 768). It was the first town to surrender to the Romans in the First Punic War, and was granted freedom and
immunity
  from tithe. It became a place of some importance in Roman days, especially as a port, and entirely outstripped its
mother
  city. Halaesa is the only place in Sicily where an inscription dedicated to a Roman
governor
  of the republican period (perhaps in 93 B.C.) has come to light. (T. As.)
