  • Naulochus, Naulochos, o Naulocha es una antigua ciudad de la costa norte de Sicilia, entre Mylae y el Cape Pelorus. Es conocida sobre todo porque en sus proximidades (entre Nauloco y Mylae) se produjo la batalla de Nauloco, dónde Sexto Pompeyo fue derrotado por Marco Vipsanio Agripa, lugarteniente de Octaviano (36 a. C. Pompeyo había acampado, junto con sus tropas terrestres, en Nauloco. Y después de la victoria de Ocatviano, éste estabñeció su campamento e allí, mientras Agripa y Lépido continuaron navegando para atacar Messana (la actual Messina. Está claro que el nombre de Nauloco hace referencia a que es un lugar muy bueno para que se resguarden las embarcaciones. Algunos dudan de que fuera un lugar habitado, pero los Silio Itálico incluye Nauloco en la lista de ciudades sicilianas. Por la descripción de la ciudad realizada por Apiano, se sabe que esta situada entre Mylae y Cape Rasoculmo (el promotorio Falacriano del geógrafo (Ptolomeo, y probablemente no muy lejos de esta última punto. Los editores del Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World la sitúan cerca de la moderna comune de Spadafora.

Aug. 16; Appian, B.C. v. 116-22. ) Pompeius himself during the battle had been encamped with his land forces at Naulochus (Appian l. c. 121), and after his victory, Octavian, in his turn, took up his station there, while Agrippa and Lepidus advanced to attack Messana. (Id. 122. ) It is clear from its name that Naulochus was a place where there was a good roadstead or anchorage for shipping. Some have doubted its existence as a populated place, but Silius Italicus includes it in his list of Sicilian cities. (Sil. Ital. xiv. 264. ) From the description in Appian it is clear that it was situated between Mylae and Cape Rasoculmo (the Phalacrian Promontory of Ptolemy), and probably not very far from the latter point; but there is nothing to fix its site more definitely. The editors of the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World place it near the modern comune of Spadafora.
  • Nauloco fu un’antica città della Sicilia settentrionale situata tra Mylae e capo Peloro. È passata alla storia per la grande battaglia navale in cui Sesto Pompeo fu sconfitto da Marco Vipsanio Agrippa nel 36 a.C. , e che fu combattuta tra Mylae e Nauloco. Pompeo stesso, durante la battaglia, era accampato con le sue forze di terra a Nauloco e Ottaviano, a sua volta,dopo la vittoria, assunse la città come stazione base mentre Agrippa e Lepido avanzavano per attaccare Messana. È chiaro dal suo nome che Nauloco fu soprattutto un cantiere navale e un bacino di ancoraggio di grande capienza, in grado di ospitare le 300 navi di Pompeo prima della battaglia.
