Terina was an ancient city located on the Piano di Tirena hill in Nocera Terinese about 20 km from Lamezia Terme in Calabria [1]. The site of the city was allegedly found in 1922 by the archaeologist Paolo Orsi near the modern village of Sant'Eufemia Vetere [1]. 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 [1]. The site is surrounded by two rivers, Savuto and Grande and matches the description by Strabo written around 20 AD [1].
