Description

An unlocated Roman road station that, according to the Antonine Itinerary, was located between Agiria (modern Calamocha or Salvacañete?) and Sermonae (Cariñena?) on the Roman road from Laminium (Alhambra?) to Caesaraugusta (Zaragosa). It may be the same place as one "Caraca" mentioned by the Geographer of Ravenna as lying between Complutum (Alcalá de Henares) and "Puteis".
