findspot settlement settlement-modern

Description

An ancient settlement attested by an ethnic name in a single, fragmentary funerary inscription. The 19th century findspot of the inscription, presumably in the immediate vicinity of the ancient town, was at a locality called "Plaza de Armas" located to the northeast of (and across the Guadalquivir from) the modern Spanish town of Espelúy (Jaén, Andalucia).
