Lauron

LAURON(Λαύρων: prob. Laury, W. of Xucar, in Valencia), a town of Hispania Tarraconensis, near Sucro, and not far from the sea. Though apparently an insignificant place, it; is invested with great interest in history, both for the siege it endured in the Sertorian War, and as the scene of the death of Cn. Pompeius the Younger, after his flight from the defeat of Munda. (Liv. 34.17; Appian, App. BC 1.109; Plut. Sert. 18, Pomp. 18; Flor. 3.22, 4.2, comp. Bell. Hisp. 37 ; Oros. 5.23; Ukert, vol. il pt. 1. p. 404.) [P.S]
