Legends And Traditions
An ancient legend exists in the province dating back to 410 AD about King Alaric, King of the conquering Visgoths. The legend states that once the King conquered Rome, he headed south, conquering and collecting wonderful treasures and he progressed into the south. Once he reached where the Crati river and the Bucenta river met, he died suddenly. These rivers meet in the heart of Cosenza. It is said that his soldiers, along with the help of slaves, buried the King under the river, along with his horse and all the treasure, by redirecting the river long enough to build the tomb. His troops then killed all the slaves so no one would know where the treasure was.
