Iluro

Iluro (also Ilturo) was a Roman town on the coast of Hispania Tarraconensis, on the site of the present-day city of Mataró in Catalonia, Spain. It was founded ex novo in the early decades of the 1st century BC in the territory of the Iberian Laietani, as part of the Roman reorganisation of the Catalan coast, and is recorded by Pliny the Elder as an oppidum civium Romanorum. Laid out on a regular orthogonal plan and later raised to the rank of municipium, it remained a small but active civic community into late antiquity, when its monumental urban fabric gave way to a dispersed settlement of the 6th and 7th centuries AD.
