Ilia, on the authority of an inscription, which is almost certainly spurious, ap. Gruter, pp. 351,305, and Muratori, p. 1002), a city of the Turdetani, in Hispania Baetica, belonging to the conventus of Hispalis.
It stood upon the right bank of the Baetis (
Guadalquivir), 700 stadia from its mouth, at the point up to which the river was navigable for vessels of small burthen, and where the tides were no longer discernible. [
BAETIS] On this and other grounds it has been identified with the Roman ruins near
Peñaflo. There were great silver mines in its neighbourhood. (Strab.
