Drepana (Ancient Greek : Δρέπανα ) was an Elymian , Carthaginian , and Roman port in antiquity on the western coast of Sicily . It was the site of a crushing Roman defeat by the Carthaginians in 249 BC. It eventually developed into the modern Italian city of Trapani .
Name
[ edit ]
Drepana received its name from drépanon (δρέπανον Greek word for "sickle ", because of the curving shape of its harbour.[1] Latinized as Drepanum before being pluralized to its present form.
History
[ edit ] Wreck of the Roman ship found on the coast of Trapani
The town was founded by the Elymians to serve as the port of the nearby city of Eryx (present-day Erice ), which overlooks it from Monte Erice . The city sits on a low-lying promontory jutting out into the Mediterranean Sea . The town, 40 km (25 mi ) north of Lilybaeum , had been fortified by the Carthaginians, who resettled part of the population to Eryx . In 241, it was besieged by G. Lutatius Catulus .[2]
The town features in the Aeneid Anchises .[1]
Carthage seized control of the city in 260 BC, subsequently making it an important naval base. The naval battle of Drepanum took place in 249 BC and was a major victory for Carthage against the Roman Republic in the First Punic War . After the Battle of the Aegates and Carthage's loss of the war, the town was ceded to Roman control in 241 BC.
It never achieved the status of a civitas in Roman times.
