History
The Laos River of southern Italy formed what ancient geographers reckoned as the boundary between Lucania and Bruttium. The river today flows some 51 km from its source near the Serra del Prete mountain to the Tyrrhenian Sea, into which it debouches near Scalea, Italy. The Argentino River, its main tributary, flows into it near Orsomarso.
