Ιστορία[]
In reality, "Kossa" was a very old town, which was mentioned by Hecataeus of Miletus (550-490 BC) as a city of the Oenotri during the late 6th century BC.
The fact that Paul the Deacon spoke of the town as "Cass-i-anum" indicates that Cassano Ionio (and its etymology) might refer to a very ancient town, which perhaps was the direct heir of the old "Kossa" mentioned by Hecataeus and by other ancient sources, which in Roman times was ruled the Gens Cassia
Kossa was also under the rule of Sybaris, founded by the Achaeans between 709 and 710 BC, which was the oldest Greek colony of Brettia.
Sybaris had a truly remarkable size: Strabo (58-25 BC), Diodorus Siculus (90-27 BC), Pseudo-Scymnus (3rd century BC) and other old authors report that the walls ran for about 9 km, which equates to an area of about 500 hectares, in which, according to Strabo, there lived about 100,000 inhabitants.
After a battle on the Trionto River, Sybaris was completely destroyed together with Cassano Ionio, the ancient "Kossa"
Ρωμαϊκή Εποχή[]
According to local history and also ancient sources, Cassano Ionio was mentioned by Caesar (100-44 BC) who referred to it as "Cosa in agro Thurino" [Cosa, located in the territory of Thurii].
Pliny the Elder (23-79 AD) defined the city as "Castellum Carissanum".
Later, Cluverius erased the syllable “ri” , obtaining a new place name, that is "Cassanum" ["Ca [ri] ssanum"]. Cluverius also supposed that Cassanum occupied the site of the ancient "Cosa".
Βυζαντινή Εποχή[]
During the Lombard and Byzantine times, Cassano Ionio was a fortified town which controlled a large area. The Byzantines made Cassano Ionio one of their most important fortresses, and then the village was undoubtedly further enhanced by the Lombards. M. Genua, after saying that Cassano Ionio was a city founded by the Lombards, recognizes that the city is much older:
In 969 Cassano was the scene of one of the battles that Otto I (912-973) undertook against the Eastern Emperor Nicephorus Phocas (830-896).
Cassano was the site of great Saracen defeat of the Byzantine forces in Italy under Pothos in 1031.
It suffered under the rule of the Saracens, who were defeated for the first time in 1014, but they occupied Cassano again in 1037.
The city fared better during the Norman domination and later
