LAMI´NIUM
LAMI´NIUM (
Λαμίνιον: Eth.
Laminitani: near
Fuenllana, between
Montiel and
Alcaraz), a town of the Carpetani (according to Ptolemy, though some suppose it to have belonged rather to the Oretani), in Hispania Tarraconensis.
It was a stipendiary town of the conventus of New Carthage, and stood on the high road from Emerita to Caesaraugusta.
The river
ANAS (
Guadiana) rose in the lands of Laminium, 7 M. P. E. of the town. (
Plin. Nat. 3.1. s. 2,
3. s. 4;
Ilin. Ant. pp. 445, 446; Ptol 2.6.57; Inscr. ap. Florez,
Esp. S. vol. iv. p. 38, vol. v. pp. 22, 122, vol. vii. p. 140; Ukert, vol. ii. pt. 1. p. 411: in
Plin. Nat. 36.21. s. 47, where Pliny speaks of the whetstones found in Hither Spain as
Cotes Flaminitanae, Ukert supposes we ought to read
Cotes Laminitanae.)
