Historical background


LUCANIA - THOURIOI

(268-194 BC)

Thurium, the new Sybaris, was founded in 443 BC on the site of the ancient Sybaris, destroyed in 510 BC by the Crotoniates. It was a Pan-Hellenic Athenian colony, initially populated by Messenians, driven out by the Spartans. Its silver coinage was very important. It was refounded in 194 BC under the name of Copia by the Romans.
