CABANES
(“Ildum”) Castellón, Spain.
Site
26 km N-NE of Castellon de la Plana, with remains of
a Roman arch consisting of two columns on a square
base and imposts supporting the arch (ht. 5.25 m; w.
4 m). Absence of any inscription and the ruinous condition of the arch preclude knowledge of its purpose and
date. Diverse Roman remains have been recorded: coins,
ceramics, a milestone (
CIL II, 4950), and an inscription
(
CIL II, 4048) from an unrecorded site.
