Caprasia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Caprasia was an ancient town of Bruttium, placed by the Itineraries on the road from Muranum to Consentia (modern Cosenza), and distant 28 miles from the latter city. (Itin. Ant. pp. 105, 110; Tab. Peut.) It is probably the modern Tarsia (in the Province of Cosenza, Calabria, Italy), on the left bank of the Crathis (modern Crati), about the required distance from Cosenza.
