LA JUNQUERA (Town) SPAIN
Iuncaria (La Junquera) Gerona, Spain.
The last stage on the Via Heraclea linking Gadir (Cadiz) with Rome before reaching
the Pyrenees, 18 km N of Figueras, mentioned in the Antonine Itinerary and a station
on the traveling vases of Vicarello. Strabo (3.4.9), speaking of the textile industry
of the Emporitani, calls the marshy area of the upper Ampurdan Iounkarion since
it provided a kind of reed which he confuses with esparto.
