Terina (ancient city)

Terina (Ancient Greek: Τερίνα and Τέρινα) was an ancient city located on the Piano di Tirena hill in Nocera Terinese about 20 km (12 mi) from Lamezia Terme in Calabria. The site of the city was allegedly found in 1922 by the archaeologist Paolo Orsi near the modern village of Sant'Eufemia Vetere. A systematic archaeological investigation was made from 1997 and coins, inscriptions and other artefacts retrieved from the site can be seen in the Museo Archeologico Lametino in Lamezia Terme. The site is surrounded by two rivers, Savuto and Grande and matches the description by Strabo written around 20 AD.
