Years: 902 - 902
August
Constantinople, absent the generalship of Nikephorus Phocas the Elder, meets with reverses in the West.
Taormina had continued after the fall of the Western Roman Empire to rank as one of the more important towns of Sicily, and because of the strength of its position was one of the last places that was retained by the Eastern Roman emperors; but the Aghlabid army takes it on August 1, 902, after a siege of two years.
The Islamic conquest of Sicily is complete.
