GRACCURRIS
GRACCURRIS (Eth.
Graccuritanus: near
Corella), a town of the Vascones, in Hispania Tarraconensis, on the great road from Asturica to Tarraco, 64 M. P. west of Caesaraugusta. Its former name, Ilurcis, was changed in honour of Sempronius Gracchus,
[p. 1.1010]who placed new settlers in it, after his conquest of Celtiberia.
It belonged to the
conventus of Caesaraugusta, and was a
municipium, with the
civitas Romana. (Liv.
