Calagurris

The modern Calahorra; a town of the Vascones in Hispania Tarraconensis, near the Iberus (Ebro). It was the birthplace of Quintilian. The Calagurritani are said to have eaten their wives and children in the extremity of their hunger, rather than yield to Pompey in B.C. 71. See Val. Max. vii. 6.
