Aracillum

Aracillum was an ancient Roman town in Hispania Tarraconensis, corresponding to modern-day Monreal, Navarre, Spain. Its inhabitants were known as Aracellitani. The town is primarily known from inscriptions and references in ancient Roman sources, notably in connection with the Sertorian Wars in the 1st century BCE. It played a strategic role due to its location. The details of its precise location and the events that transpired there are still subject to archaeological and historical research. The name itself likely originates from a pre-Roman language, possibly Celtiberian, reflecting the mixed cultural influences in the region during that period. The Roman presence in Aracillum contributed to the Romanization of the area.
