TERINA
Cantazaro, S Italy.
The city was
founded by Kroton at the beginning of the 5th c. B.C.
Later it passed under several different rules until it was
destroyed during the second Punic war. Most recent studies identify the ancient site with unexcavated remains in
the abbey of S. Eufemia Vecchia; but others with Nocera
Terinese. Terina is best known for its coinage (480-400 B.C.).
