REGIUM (Gr. `Pi ytov: in Latin the aspirate is omitted) , a city of the territory of the Bruttii in South Italy, on the east
at least among the Baptists and the Independents, there was some objection to this form of state aid, and in 1851 the chancellor of the exchequer announced that it would be withdrawn. This was done six years later. See J. Stoughton, History of Religion in England (1901) ; J. S. Reid, History of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland (Belfast, 1867) ; and E. Calamy, Historical Account of my own Life, edited by J.T. Rutt A colony, mainly of Chalcidians, partly of Messenians from the Peloponnesus, settled at Regium in the 8th century B.C. About 494 B.C. Anaxilas, a member of the Messenian party, made him-self master of Regium (apparentlyfrom numismatic evidence, for the coins assignable to this period are modelled on Samian typeswith the help of the Samians: see MESSINA) and about 488 joined with them in occupying Zancle (Messina).

Of ancient buildings hardly anything remains at Regium, and nothing of the archaic Greek period is in situ, except possibly the remains of a temple of Artemis Phacelitis, which have not yet been explored, though various inscriptions relative to it have been found. The museum, however, contains a number of terra-cottas, vases, inscriptions , &c., and a number of Byzantine lead seals. Several baths of the Greek period, modified by the Romans, have been found, and the remains of one of these may still be seen. A large mosaic of the 3rd or 4th century A.D. with representations of wild animals and the figure of a warrior in the centre was found in 1904 and covered up again. The aqueduct and various cisterns connected with it have been traced, and some tombs of the 5th or 4th century a.c. (or even later) were found in 1907.See Notizie degli scavi, passim; P. Larizza, Rhegium Chalcidense (Rome, 1905). ' (T. As.) End of Article: REGIUM (Gr. `Pi ytov: in Latin the aspirate is omitted) If you wish, you can link directly to this article.
