Kroton, Bruttium, c. 350 - 340 B.C.

|Italy|, |Kroton,| |Bruttium,| |c.| |350| |-| |340| |B.C.||nomos|
In 295 B.C., Kroton fell to another Syracusan tyrant, Agathocles. When Pyrrhus invaded Italy in 280 B.C., it was still a considerable city, with twelve miles (19 km) of walls, but after the Pyrrhic War, half the town was deserted (Livy 24.3). What was left of its population submitted to Rome in 277 B.C. After the Battle of Cannae in the Second Punic War, Hannibal made it his winter quarters for three years and the city was not recaptured until 205 or 204 B.C. In 194 B.C., it became the site of a Roman colony. Little more is heard of it during the Republican and Imperial periods.

Cromna, an Ionian colony located on the Paphlagonian coast, was mentioned by Homer in the Iliad. Shortly after 300 B.C., Cromna was conquered by Amastris, the ruler of Heraclea. Amastris moved the populations of Cromna, Sesamus, Cytorus, and Tium to her newly founded city, which she named Amastris after herself. The site of Cromna has been the subject of some disagreement.
