Medma

Medma was an ancient Greek city on the Tyrrhenian coast of Calabria, southern Italy, at modern Rosarno. Founded by Locri Epizephyrii in the 6th century BCE, it was, with Hipponion, one of Locri's settlements on the western sea, and its sanctuaries have yielded many terracotta figurines. It declined under Roman rule.
