Rossano, Former municipality in Province of Cosenza, Italy
The settlement stands at an elevation of 270 meters above sea level, positioned three kilometers from the Gulf of Taranto with marble quarries nearby.
Emperor Hadrian established a port in the second century AD that accommodated 300 ships, making Roscianum a strategic fortress during the Roman Empire.
The Rossano Gospels, a sixth-century illuminated manuscript written in silver on purple parchment, represents the settlement's strong Byzantine heritage.
The town connects to major cities through the SS 106 Ionica Route and includes a railway station on a branch line from Sibari.
The Codex Rossanensis, discovered in 1879, contains ancient Greek texts of Matthew and Mark, dating between the fifth and ninth centuries.
