 | | The new settlement was crushed by Croton, but the Athenians lent aid to the fugitives and in 443 BC Pericles sent out to Thurii a mixed body of colonists from various parts of Greece, among whom were Herodotus and the orator Lysias. |
 | | In the 4th century BC it continued to decline, and at length called in the help of the Romans against the Lucanians, and then in 282 BC against Tarentum. |
 | | In 194 BC a Roman colony was founded, with Latin rights, known for a time as Copiae, but afterwards by the old name of Thurii. |
