Historical background


CALABRIA - TARAS

(334-330 BC)

Alexander II the Molossian strategist, king of Epirus

The death of Archidamos, king of Sparta, in 338 BC at Mandurias, beaten by the Messapians and the Lucanians, forced the Tarentines to find a new ally to contain their turbulent neighbors. They appealed to Alexander the Molossian, king of Epirus and brother-in-law of Alexander III the Great of Macedonia. Arriving in southern Italy, Alexander the Molossus had to fight against the southern Italian tribes of Lucania and Apulia, eager to build a kingdom in Magna Graecia..
