Editing Cosenza (section)

== History ==
The ancient city was known as Cosentia. It was the capital of the Bruttii before Roman control was established in 204 BC. Alaric, king of the Visigoths, died at Cosenza in 410 and is traditionally associated with the Busento riverbed.

During the medieval and early modern periods, Cosenza passed through Byzantine, Norman, Angevin, Spanish, and Bourbon rule. It was later part of the [[Kingdom of Naples]] and the [[Kingdom of the Two Sicilies]] before Italian unification.
