The Coin from Calabria : Discovering the Historical Roots of My Calabrian People

Many years ago, while a child in the magical Region of Calabria, in Southern Italy, I found an ancient coin. Decades later, I sought, and finally found its amazing origins. The investigation for my coin's origins was paralleled by an in-depth search for my ancient Calabrian roots. What I found was a mesmerizing history of horrifying natural catastrophes, invasions by both brutal and civilizing peoples, and other enthralling events that will leave the reader enlightened and amazed.
