Caulon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Caulon is a town in Bruttii, on the south-eastern coast of Italy. Its exact site is determined by the identification of the Sagras river. It was an Achaean colony, founded by Croton. It took the side of Athens in the Peloponnesian War. It was destroyed in 388 BC by Dionysius, but was restored soon afterwards. It was captured during an invasion by Campanian troops. Around the year 209 B.C.E. this city was laid siege to by Romans during the Second Punic War, but the siege was soon lifted by Hannibal.
