Rhegium, a city across the Straits of Messana (later to be known as Messina) was also taken control by Oscan speaking Campanians, who had followed suit after learning of the progress made by their comrades across the water.

The Syracusans also wished to try their fortune at sea, seeing that the Athenians had only a few ships actually at Rhegium, and hearing that the main fleet destined to join them was engaged in blockading the island.
Defeated by the Athenians they hastily set off, each for himself, to their own stations at Messina and Rhegium, with the loss of one ship; night coming on before the battle was finished.
