Ulia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ulia Fidentia or simply Ulia was a Roman municipium in the province of Hispania Baetica. The site is the location of the current city of Montemayor, Córdoba.[1]

During the Second Hispanian campaign of Caesar's Civil War almost all the towns of Hispania Ulterior had switched allegiance to Pompey's side, except for a few towns, including Ulia.[2] Caesar therefore honored the town with the appellation Fidentia.
