The name Eubea was given to the place in 1872, owing to a false identification with the Greek city of
Euboea , a colony ofLeontini , founded early in the 6th century BC. The town occupies the site of an unknown Sicel city. A few vases of the First Period were found, but practically all the tombs explored in 1898 belonged to the Fourth Period (700-500 BCE), and show the gradual process ofHellenization among the Sicels.External links
