place

Cosani

also: Consa

Consa (often emended to Compsa or Cosa), a municipium of the Hirpini in southern Italy. Most likely the home of P. Gavius, the Roman citizen scourged and crucified by Verres at Messana (Verr. 2.5.158). The orthography is variously transmitted; some manuscripts read Cosa (Etruria), and the Cosa in Cicero's letters of 49 BC (Ad Att. 9.6, 9) is Domitius's villa in Etruria, a different place.
