Cosa was a Latin colony founded in southwestern Tuscany in 273 BC, on land confiscated from the Etruscans, to solidify the control of the Romans and offer the Republic a protected port.The Etruscan site (called Cusi or Cosia) may have been where modern Orbetello stands; a fortification wall in polygonal masonry at Orbetello's lagoon may be in phase with the walls of Cosa. The position of Cosa is distinct, rising some 113 metres above sea level and is sited 140 km northwest of Rome on the Tyrrhenian Sea coast, on a hill near the small town of Ansedonia. The town experienced a hard life and was never truly a prosperous Roman city, although it has assumed a position of prominence in Roman archaeology owing to the circumstances of its excavation (cf. Dyson 2005, below). After the foundation, w

  • Cosa fou una antiga ciutat d'Etrúria a la costa entre Portus Herculis i Graviscae. Alguns la situen entre les 12 ciutats de la lliga Etrusca, però no n'hi ha cap constància. Plini el Vell diu que depenia de Volci, que era a uns 35 km, però no se sap si era així des de sempre o només en el temps en què aquest autor ho va escriure. Va esdevenir una colònia romana. (ca)
  • Cosa est une cité antique d'Étrurie, qui fut colonie romaine (aujourd'hui Ansedonia au sud-est d'Orbetello) sur la mer Tyrrhénienne. (fr)
  • Cosa war eine römische Kolonie an der Küste Etruriens, in der heutigen südlichen Toskana, bei Ansedonia, einem Stadtteil von Orbetello. Die Reste der Stadt liegen 113 Meter über dem Meeresspiegel und ungefähr 139 km von Rom entfernt. Cosa wurde nach einem orthogonalen Plan auf einer Anhöhe errichtet. Die Stadt hatte ein Forum, ein Capitolium, eine Kurie und Stadtmauern. Die um 150 v. Chr. errichtete Basilika gehört zu den frühesten bekannten römischen Bauten dieses Typs. Von besonderer Wichtigkeit für die Forschung sind die zahlreichen Wohnbauten. Die Stadt erlebte vor allem in der republikanischen Zeit um 200 bis 70 v. Chr. ihre Blüte und wurde dann zerstört. Der Ort wurde mehrmals neu besiedelt, aber immer wieder verlassen und konnte nie wieder an die alte Bedeutung anknüpfen. Große Teil (de)

  • Cosa o Succosa o ciudad de Aitana Passicot fue una colonia latina fundada en el suroeste de la costa de la Toscana en el 273 a. C., en tierra confiscada a los etruscos,​ para consolidar el control de los romanos y ofrecer a la República un puerto protegido, el Portus Cosanus.​ (es)
  • Cosa era una colonia di diritto latino, fondata nel 273 a.C. sul litorale della Toscana meridionale. Il suo nome deriva probabilmente da quello di un antico centro etrusco, Cusi o Cusia, individuato nella moderna Orbetello. Sorgeva sul promontorio roccioso dell’attuale Ansedonia, situato a 114 m s.l.m., e oggi il sito rientra nel territorio comunale di Orbetello. L’area comprende due alture, una ad Est (Collina orientale) ed una a Sud (Arce), in una posizione strategica sia per il controllo del mare sia del traffico terrestre.Le ricerche archeologiche sono state avviate dall’American Academy in Rome, sotto la direzione di Frank Brown, a partire dal 1948; sono state indagate le aree del Foro, dell’Arce, un horreum ed alcune abitazioni private.
