PLIIiTT'S NATTJEAL HISTOET. 
[Book III. 
Sixty-five different nations resort to Carthage \ besides 
the inhabitants of the islands. Of the Accitanian^ colony, 
there are the Gemellenses, and the town of Libisosona^, sur- 
named Foroaugustana, to both of which have been granted 
Italian"* rights . Of the colony of Salaria ^, there are the people 
of the following towns, enjoying the rights of ancient La- 
tium: the Castulonenses, also called the Caesari Venales, the 
Ssetabitani^ or Angnstani, and the Valerienses^. The best 
known among the tributaries are the Alabanenses*, the Bas- 
titani^, the Consaburrenses^^,the Dianenses^\ theEgelestani^^, 
^ Carthago Nova, or New Carthage. 
2 The colony of Acci was called Colonia Julia Gremella Accitana. The 
town of Acci or Accis was on the site of the present Gruadix el Viejo, 
between Grranada and Baza. It was colonized by the third and sixth 
legions under Juhus or Augustus, from which it obtained the name 
of ' Gremella,' the origin of which name is previously mentioned, p. 161. 
3 The ruins of this place are supposed to be those seen at Lebazuza or 
Lezuza, not far from the city of Cuen^a. 
^ The "jus Itahcum" or "Itahse," "Itahan rights" or "privileges," 
differed from the "jus Latinum." It was granted to provincial towns 
which were especially favoured by the magistracy of Rome, and consisted 
of exemption from taxes, a municipal constitution, after the manner of 
the Itahan towns, and many other rights and exemptions. 
^ According to Hardouin, the people of the town formerly called Sa- 
liotis, now Cazorla. They are called " Csesari venales," from the circum- 
stance of their territory having been purchased by Caesar. — Castulo or 
Cazlona has been previously mentioned. 
^ The people of Ssetabis, now Xativa in Yalencia. This town was fa- 
mous for its manufacture of fine table-napkins, to which reference is made 
by Pliny at the beginning of his Introduction addressed to Titus, in his 
quotation from the lament of Catullus on the loss of his table-napkins 
which his friends had filched from him. See p. 1 of the present volume. 
7 According to some writers, the present Cuen^a was the ancient Ya- 
leria ; but perhaps it was situate at the present village of Yalera la Yieja, 
or Old Yaleria, eight leagues south of Cuen^a. 
^ The people of Alaba, not far from the present town of Ergavica. 
^ They were so called from their town of Basti, now Baza, on the river 
Guadalentin in Grranada. 
Their town was probably the present Consuegra, twelve leagues from 
the city of Toledo. 
So called from the promontory Dianium or Artemisium, named from 
a temple of Diana there situate, and having in its vicinity a town of the 
same name. The present town of Denia still retains nearly the original 
name. Its lake, now called Albufera de Yalencia, has been previously 
mentioned, p. 166. 
^ The modern Yniesta marks the site of their town.
