The ancient Roman city of Cosa stands on a rocky promontory formed by two hills, separated by a vast saddle. Founded by the Romans in 273 BC. after the victory over the allied forces of the Etruscan cities of Volsinii and Vulci in 280 BC, it included a large part of the Vulci territory, including the coast.
