COMPSA (mod. Conza)

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 814 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COM-COR
COMPSA (mod. Conza) , an ancient city of the Hirpini, near the sources of the Aufidus, on the boundary of Lucania and not far from that of Apulia, on a
ridge
  1998 ft. above sea-level. It was betrayed to Hannibal in 216 B.C. after the defeat of
Cannae
 , but recaptured two years later. It was probably occupied by Sulla in 89 B.C., and was the
scene
  of the death of T. Annius Milo in 48 B.C. Most authorities (cf. Hiilsen in, Pauly-Wissowa, Realencyclopadie,
Stuttgart
 , 1901, iv. 797) refer Caes. Bell.civ. iii. 22, and Plin. Hist. Nat. ii. 147, to this place, supposing the MSS. to be corrupt. The usual identification of the site of Milo's death with
Cassano
  on the Gulf of Taranto must therefore be rejected. In imperial times, as
inscriptions
  show, it was a
municipium
 , but it lay far from any of the
main
  high-roads. There are no important ancient remains.
