History
Laino is located near Cosenza, Italy. According to PECS, the ancient situation should be understood in terms of the two present-day communities, namely Laino Castello and Laino Borgo, located in the valley of the Laos River. Here, there is archaeological evidence for an indigenous necropolis in the Early Iron Age and then connections with Greek colonies, including Sybaris, through the Hellenistic period.
