 The exact location of Greek Thurii is not known, but that of the Roman town, which probably though not certainly occupied the same site, is fixed by several ruins as being c. 6 kilometers to the east of Terranova da Sibari, and as occupying an area some 6 km in circuit.It is clear, from the statements both of Diodorus and Strabo, that Thurii occupied a site near to, but distinct from, that of Sybaris
