Plan of Cosa:

Situated on the coast of the Tyrhennian Sea, about 2 hours north of Rome, Cosa occupies a hilltop promontory that was once Etruscan land. The colony was the focus of excavations by the American Academy in Rome for a number of years, and is one of the definitive examples of an ancient Roman colony.
