What is Rhegium?
RHE'GIUM
(breach), a city on the coast near the south-western end of Italy, and opposite Messina, on the north-eastern point of Sicily, from which it is separated by a strait 6 miles wide. The emperor Caligula proposed to make a port there for the Alexandrian corn-ships, but died before completing it. Paul was detained at this place for a day when on his voyage to Rome. Acts 28:13. It is now called Rheggio, and is a flourishing commercial town and the capital of Calabria, having about 10,000 inhabitants.
