UXAMA
UXAMA (
Οὔξαμα Ἀργέλλαι,
Ptol. 2.6.56), a town of the Arevaci in Hispania Tarraconensis, on
[p. 2.1331]the road from Asturica to Caesaraugusta, 50 miles W. of Numantia, and in the neighbourhood of Clunia (
Itin. Ant. p. 441), where, however, the more recent editions read Vasama. (
Plin. Nat. 3.3. s. 4;
Flor. 3.22;
Sil. Ital. 3.384.)
It is called Uxuma in the Geogr. Rav. (4.43); and according to Ukert (ii. pt. i. p. 455), is probably the
Ἀξείνιον of Appian (6.47). Now
Osma. [
