Cotiso, Cotish or Cotison (flourished c. 30 BC) was a Dacian king who apparently ruled the mountains between Banat and Oltenia (modern-day Romania). Horace calls him king of the Dacians.[1] Suetonius calls him king of the Getae.[1] He is mentioned also by Florus, who wrote that Cotiso and his armies used to attack towards south when the Danube froze.
