Moron (ancient city)

Moron was an ancient city mentioned by Strabo. Several hypotheses exist related to its location, but a location in Lusitania, near Scallabis (modern day Santarém) is strongly considered.^[1][2]

Roman provinces of Hispania map, showing Moron south of Scallabis (Gustav Droysen, 1886).

Strabo mentions that Decimus Junius Brutus Callaicus made camp on an island near the city^[3][2][4] possibly identified as modern Almourol on the river Tagus.^[1][2][5]

Another hypothesis points to Alpiarça.^[5][4]
