THAPSUS

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 726 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TAV-THE
THAPSUS , a low
peninsula
 , now known as Magnisi, joined by a narrow
isthmus
  to the mainland of
Sicily
 , about 7 M. N.N.W. of Syracuse. The founders of
Megara
  Hyblaea settled here temporarily, according to
Thucydides
 , in the
winter
  of 729-728 B.C., but it seems to have] remained almost if not entirely uninhabited until the Athenians used it as a
naval
  station in their attack on Syracuse early in 414 B.C. A number of tombs were excavated in 1894, containing
objects
  belonging to a transitional stage between the second and third Sicel
period
 , attributable roughly to 1000-900 B.C., and with a certain proportion of Mycenean importations.
See Orsi in Monumenti dei Lincei (1897), vi. 89-150.
