JACA (Town) ARAGON
Iacca (Jaca) Huesca, Spain.
Town of the Vascones in Hispania Tarraconensis, ca. 70 km N of Huesca on the main
road to France. Livy (21.23) mentions the inhabitants, the Iacetani, in connection
with Hannibal's march through the Pyrenees on his advance against Rome. Menioned
also by Sallust (2.5) and Plutarch (Sert. 4). We know that it minted coinage and
that it was a station on the highroad to Caesaraugusta (Rav. 309.7). Remains of
walls and buildings were visible as late as the 19th c.
