Illiturgis
Illiturgis, also known as Iliturgi, was a city in Spain during antiquity, located on the road from Corduba to Castulo. Originally, it was located near the site of Mengíbar, but when it was destroyed the populace was relocated near present-day Andújar.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Illiturgis, Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography (1854) )〕 It had the surname of ''Forum Julium'' during Roman times.〔
During the Second Punic War, it sided with the Romans, and was besieged by the Carthaginians.〔 However, the sieges were raised.〔 When the two Scipios were overthrown, Illiturgis and Castulo sided with the Carthaginians.〔 In addition, according to Roman sources, the citizens of Illiturgis are said to have executed the Romans who had fled to the city for refuge during the war.〔 Publius Scipio stormed the city in 206 BC and burnt the corpses of the slaughtered townspeople.〔 It was besieged by the Romans in 196 BC and the city was taken.〔 As a Roman city, Illiturgis was part of the province of Hispania Baetica, and grew in size.〔 Saint Euphrasius of Illiturgis is said to have been its first Christian bishop. In the 7th century, Sisebut built a church over the Euphrasius' sepulcher at Illiturgis, but during the invasion of Spain by the Moors in the 8th century, Euphrasius' relics were translated to Galicia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= San Eufrasio )〕
==Geography==
Illiturgis was a city of Hispania Baetica and was situated on steep mountainous terrain located on the northern side of the River Baetis. It is on the road to the neighboring cities of Corduba and Castulo, which is believed to be a five day march from Carthago Nova, modern day Cartagena, Spain. Since the city was destroyed and repopulated, it is likely that two sites share the same name. One site is believed to be on the hill Maquiz, Mengibar in Spain. After it was destroyed, the second location is believed to have been part of the area around the modern city of Andujar, where the church of St. Potenciana currently stands.
There is a major problem with the city's location in the works of Livy and Coelius. Reportedly, it was common for them to purposely substitute the names of known cities for unknown ones. For example, the site of Ilorci is most likely not equivalent to Livy's Illiturgis because it is believed that, when the Roman soldiers took refuge in Illiturgis, they actually went to the neighboring town of Ilorci instead. This is a possible theory, as it suggests that Illiturgis was much deeper in the enemy's territory which was near Mengibar, a few miles south of Bailen.
