Author Description

The title Calabria: Warrior and Rebel came naturally after having selected the stories and characters that appear in it. It seems that Calabria has attracted warriors and rebels like a magnet and has been influenced by them. Hannibal, one of Rome's greatest enemies, chose the temple of Hera Lacinia to deposit his memories just as Spartacus had done when going to the city of Thurii. Julia - the woman who dared to defy two emperors, her father Augustus and her husband Tiberius - was exiled to Reggio Calabria where the Torre Julia has become a pilgrimage destination.
