Quoting this description, Lenormant holds that, with due regard to time's changes, it exactly fits the site of Squillace.

Yet Cassiodorus says that the hill by which you approached the town was not high enough to weary a traveller, a consideration making for the later view that Scylaceum stood very near to the Marina of Catanzaro, at a spot called Roccella, where not only is the nature of the ground suitable, but there exist considerable traces of ancient building, such as are not discoverable here on the mountain top.

Lenormant thought that Roccella was merely the sea-port of the inland town.

I wish he were right.

No archaeologist, whose work I have studied, affects me with such a personal charm, with such a sense of intellectual sympathy, as Francois Lenormant--dead, alas, before he could complete his delightful book.
