Munda

1.

A Roman colony and an important town in Hispania Beatica, situated on a small river, and celebrated on account of two battles fought in its neighbourhood, the victory of Cn. Scipio over the Carthaginians in B.C. 216, and the important victory of Iulius Caesar over the sons of Pompey in 45. The town had fallen into decay as early as the time of Pliny. The site of the ancient town is usually supposed to be the modern village of Monda, southwest of Malaga; but Munda was more probably in the neighbourhood of Cordova, and there are ruins of ancient walls and towers between Martos, Alcandete, Espejo and Baena, which are conjectured to be the remains of Munda (Livy, xxiv. 42).
