After his IOO death it passed under the dominion of Tyndaris. Pyrrhus landed at Tauromeniuni in 278 B. C. , but his conduct so roused the indignation of the inhabitants of the island that they forced him to go back to Italy. When Hiero II was proclaimed ruler of Sy- racuse, a new period of peace and prosperity began for the whole of Sicily, and consequently also for Tauromenium. The arts and sciences, encouraged by Hiero and held in honour by the citizens, flourised again. After Hiero's death, ...Tauromeniuni, having ren- dered itself indipendent of Syracuse, made alliance with Rome, under whose dominion it afterwards fell. It also suffered from the cruelty and tyranny of Verres. Notwithstanding, it continued to be a large and important city even in the time of Strabo, who men- tions it among the most populous cities of Sicily. The Saracens attacked it vainly several times until the year 902 A. C, when Ibrahim-ibn- Ahmed, having defeated the garrison on the coast and taken Mola, succeeded in entering the city.
