From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Calore or Calore Irpino is a river in southwestern Italy. It rises in the Croci di Acerno (889 m.) in the Apennine Mountains and is a tributary of the Volturno. In ancient times it was known as Calor.
On 8 May 663, a large detachment of the army of the Emperor Constant II, which had invaded the Lombard Duchy of Benevento, was defeated in battle by the army of King Grimoald, under the joined command of Mitola, Count of Capua, and Grimoald's son, Romuoald, Duke of Benevento. Having already abandoned the siege of Benevento and every small conquest done in Itlay, Constans II, falling back to in Napoli, lost hopes to repell the Lombards and re-establish Byzantine sovranity over south Italy .
