, a See also:city of the territory of the See also:Bruttii in See also:South See also:Italy, on the See also:east See also:side of the strait between Italy and See also:Sicily (Strait of See also:Messina)
.
at least among the See also:Baptists and the See also:Independents, there was some objection to this See also:form of See also:state aid, and in 1851 the See also:chancellor of the See also:exchequer announced that it would be withdrawn
.
This was done six years later

This coinage was resumed after the See also:establishment of the See also:democracy about 461 B.C., when Anaxilas' sons were driven out . In 433 Regium made a treaty with See also:Athens, and in 427 joined the Athenians against See also:Syracuse, but in 415 it remained neutral . An attack which it made on See also:Dionysius I. of Syracuse in 399 was the beginning of a See also:great struggle which in 387 resulted in its See also:complete destruction and the See also:dispersion of its inhabitants as slaves . Restored by the younger Dionysius under the name of Phoebias, the colony soon recovered its prosperity and resumed its See also:original designation . In 28o, when See also:Pyrrhus invaded Italy, the Regines admitted within their walls a See also:Roman See also:garrison of Campanian troops; these mercenaries revolted, massacred the male citizens, and held the city till in 270 they were besieged and put to See also:death by the Roman See also:consul Genucius . The city remained faithful to See also:Rome throughout the Punic See also:wars, and See also:Hannibal never succeeded in taking it . Up till the Social See also:War it struck coins of its own, with See also:Greek legends . Though one of the cities promised by the triumvirs to the veterans, Regium escaped through the favour of Octavius (hence it took the name Regium Julium) . It continued, however, to be a Greek city even under the See also:Empire, and never became a colony . Towards the end of the Empire it was made the See also:chief city of the Bruttii . Of See also:ancient buildings hardly anything remains at Regium, and nothing of the archaic Greek period is in situ, except possibly the remains of a See also:temple of See also:Artemis Phacelitis, which have not yet been explored, though various See also:inscriptions relative to it have been found . The museum, however, contains a number of terra-cottas, vases, inscriptions, &c., and a number of See also:Byzantine See also:lead See also:seals . Several See also:baths of the Greek period, modified by the See also:Romans, have been found, and the remains of one of these may still be seen . A large See also:mosaic of the 3rd or 4th century A.D. with representations of See also:wild animals and the figure of a See also:warrior in the centre was found in 1904 and covered up again . The See also: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 .
