PORTUS IULIOBRIGENSIUM
or Portus Victoriae Iuliobrigensium, Santander, Spain.
Cited by Pliny
(
HN 4.3). Its name refers to its status as Iuliobriga's
outlet to the sea and to a victory of Augustus in
the Cantabrian wars. The hypocaust of baths, perhaps
belonging to a building of the 1st c. A.D., survives.
