I met with two Medals of Julia TrarluCia among the 
Brafs Spanijh Coins; but as I cannot alcertain where 
they were found, I will not pretend to form from thence 
any judgment of the fituation of the Town to which 
they belong. But I prefume in matters fo dark, a con. 
jetfure n?ay be offered. It does not ieem very im- 
probable, that Julia Trada6la flood where Tarifa is at

I cannot fee what could invite him to fettle on a Spot

off this place, that runs pretty far in the Sea, on 
which a Hamburgher was loft fome Years ago. Per- 
haps Mellaria flood hereabouts. 
Wherever it was, the Ruins of it muft be a confide- 
rable way in the Sea, if credit is to be given to Rliny, 
who upon the Teftimony of one Born there, reckons
