๐ฎ๐น Cori is a city and comune in the province of Latina, in the Lazio region of central Italy.
History Cora was well developed in the age of the expansion of Rome (7th-6th century BC). It is recorded as being part of the Latin League. According to Livy, in 503 BC it sought unsuccessfully to revolt against the Roman republic, together with Suessa Pometia, and with the assistance of the Aurunci. By 495 BC Cora and Pometia are said by Livy to have been Volscian towns. Upon hearing of Volscian attempts to foment war, the Roman army marched against the Volsci, and in order to avoid war the Volsci offered three hundred children of the leading men of Cora and Suessa Pometia as hostages. War nevertheless broke out later in the year. It is unclear what happened to the hostages.
Coins of Cora exist, belonging at latest to 350โ250 BC. Cora became a Roman possession after the Social War (90โ88 BC), maintaining some administrative and political autonomy, and before the end of the Republic it had become a municipium.
Cori suffered a steep decline in the early centuries of the Middle Ages. It was often allied with its neighbour Velletri. It was a possession of the Annibaldi until 1234, when it went back to the Papal suzerainty, under which (apart from a short period under Ladislaus of Naples in 1400โ10) it remained until the unification of Italy.
It has been part of the province of Latina since 1934.
