The siege of Taormina in 902 ended the conquest of the Byzantine city of Taormina, in northeastern Sicily, by the Aghlabids. The campaign was led by the deposed Aghlabid emir, Ibrahim II, as a form of armed pilgrimage and holy war. Ibrahim's forces defeated the Byzantine garrison in a hard-fought battle in front of the city walls, and laid siege to the city. Left unsupported by the Byzantine government, Taormina capitulated on 1 August. The population was massacred or sold into slavery. The fall of this last major Byzantine stronghold signalled the completion of the Muslim conquest of Sicily, which had been ongoing since the 820s, although some minor Byzantine outposts survived until the 960s.

  • Le siège de Taormine en 902 est le dernier épisode de la conquête musulmane de la Sicile, avec la prise de Taormine, dernière possession de l'Empire byzantin sur l'île. Le siège est mené par Ibrahim II, après qu'il a vaincu l'armée byzantine devant les murailles de la ville. Sans soutien de Constantinople, la garnison finit par capituler le 1er août et la population est soit massacrée, soit réduite en esclavage. Commencée dans les années 820, la prise de la Sicile par les Musulmans s'achève avec cette victoire, même si quelques forteresses sont encore tenues par les Byzantins jusque dans les années 960. (fr)
