Cori (ancient Cora) is a city and comune in the province of Latina, in the Lazio region of central Italy.
According to Livy, in 503 BC it sought unsuccessfully to revolt against the Roman Republic, together with Suessa Pometia, and with the assistance of the Aurunci.
Cora became a Roman possession after the Social War (90–88 BC), maintaining some administrative and political autonomy, and before the end of the Republic it had become a municipium.
It was a possession of the Annibaldi until 1234, when it went back to the Papal suzerainty, under which (apart from a short period under Ladislaus of Naples in 1400–10) it remained until the unification of Italy.
