Anabasis Pyrrhou - An Epeirote AAR

Hey, I read your Anabasis, you read mine...

I thought your AAR dead to be honest - great to see that I was mistaken! I like you writing style. Didn't know that the Greeks called Lilibeo Μαρσαλα - I just "graecisized" it in my campaign to Λιλυβαιον.

I don't know whether they called it that, though the Wikipedia entry for Lilybaeum redirects to Marsala.

Woah, back from the dead! Strangely I mentioned this in another AAR a few days ago and now it's back.

German Wikipedia says Marsala means "Port of Allah" and was introduced by Arabs in the 9th century. But then it's only Wikipedia...

Marsala is deffinately not what the Hellenes called Lilibaeum. They called it Lilibaion, like Centurio correctly stated. Hoping to see more of this, btw
