The wealthy citizens fled from a country that they could no longer consider their own and took refuge with Pompeius,who was near by and greatly beloved by all at that time.There were present with him also many seafaring men from Spain,skilled in naval affairs,so that Pompeius was well provided with ships and money.When Octavian learned these facts he sent Salvidienus with a fleet,as though it were an easy task,to come alongside of Pompeius and destroy him,while he himself passed through Italy with the intention of joining Salvidienus at Rhegium.Pompeius advanced with a large fleet to meet Salvidienus, and a naval engagement took place between them at the entrance of the straits near the promontory of Scyllaeum.
裕福な市民はもはやそこが自分たちの土地とは考えられなかったため国からに逃げ出し、当時皆から深く慕われていたPompeiusの下に身を寄せた。また、海軍の仕事に熟達したスペインからの船乗りも多くいたためPompeiusは船も金も十分に持っていた。Octavianはこれらの事を知ると、Pompeiusに追いついて彼を打ちのめすのはたやすいことであるかのように考え、艦隊と共にSalvidienusを送る一方、自分はRhegiumでSalvidienusと合流しようとしてイタリアを通り抜けた。PompeiusはSalvidienusと対戦するために大艦隊を組んで進軍し、Scyllaeum岬付近の海峡の入り口で両軍の海戦が行なわれた。
