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

• 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. The Coin From Calabria is especially relevant to the millions around the world who find their roots in the beautiful land of Calabria who crave to know about their ancient origins. History buffs and people who simply want to know about other people and cultures will find this work enlightening as well.

NOTE TO READERS The original version of this book was written in Canadian English, which led some to conclude that the book had not been properly edited for spelling. Given the fact that the vast majority of readers are clearly Americans, the new version is now in American English, though a few Canadian English words may still be present. Please enjoy the content and be patient with the spelling. English spelling varies from area to area, therefore it is impossible to please everyone in all English-speaking areas of the world. May my historical journey fascinate you as it has fascinated many others who have already bought the book.
