Main Mints: Cumae, Neapolis, Nola

In South-western Italy on the Tyrrhenian Sea, Campania was colonized by Euboeans from Attica in the eighth century BC. Greeks from Chalcis settled first at Pithecusae and Cumae, then Neapolis. Capua, Nola and Cales became major trading partners with Etruria. Pompeii and Herculaneum were destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.

Many of the coins of Campania feature a man-faced bull, representing the river god Achelous. The Achelous River, longest of mainland Greece, flows into the mouth of the Corinthian Gulf.
