Allucius

a prince of the Celtiberi, betrothed to a most beautiful virgin, who was taken prisoner by Scipio in Spain, B. C. 209. Scipio generously gave her to Allucius, and refused the presents her parents offered him. The story is beautifully told in Livy (26.50), and is also related by other writers. (Plb. 10.19; V. Max. 4.3. § 1; Sil. Ital. 15.268, &c.)
