	Lucania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lucania was an ancient district of southern Italy, extending from the Tyrrhenian Sea to the Gulf of Taranto.
		To the north it adjoined Campania, Samnium and Apulia, and to the south it was separated by a narrow isthmus from the district of Bruttium.
		The main ridge approaches the western sea, and is continued from the lofty knot of mountains on the frontiers of Samnium, nearly due south to within a few miles of the Gulf of Policastro, and thenceforward is separated from the sea by only a narrow interval until it enters the district of the Bruttii.
