Lucos Cozza (born in Rome, Italy, on 11 April 1921 – 27 June 2011) was an Italian Roman archaeologist.
Born in Rome, Cozza was the son of the sculptor, count Lorenzo Cozza (Orvieto 1877 - Roma 1965),[1] and the grandson of archaeologist Adolfo Cozza (Orvieto 1848 - Roma 1910).[2]
Cozza was a student of Giuseppe Lugli, the author of many scholarly books about Italian prehistory and the topography of Rome;[3] his best-known work is on the Temple of Hadrian.[4] He also wrote an archeological guide book to Roman antiquities, translated into several languages.
In 1957, he began the excavation, along with Ferdinando Castagnoli, of the Latin federal sanctuary at Lavinium.[5]
