in Ancient Geography, a very old and interesting city of Latium, on the Via Appia, about 39 miles from Rome. Its name, and various traditions connected with it, appear to assign to the city a Pelasgic origin. As it stood on the confines of the Volscian territory it suffered much in the wars between the Volsci and the Romans. It ultimately fell under the dominion of the latter power, and gradually declined from the important place it once occupied among the thirty cities of the Latin league at the beginning of the fifth century B.C. Cora possesses extensive remains of antiquity. The most interesting of these are the Cyclopean walls, which seem to have encircled the city in three several tiers, and the bridge on the road to Norba, which spans a deep ravine with a single arch, and is justly reckoned one of the most remarkable structures of this kind in Italy.
