Acra Leuce

Ἄκρα Λευκὴ

Acra Leuce (Ἄκρα Λευκὴ), a great city of Hispania Tarraconensis, founded by Hamilcar Barcas (Diod. 25.2), and probably identical with the Castrum Album of Livy (24.41). Its position seems to have been on the coast of the Sinus Ilicitanus, N. of Ilici, near the modem Alicante (Ukert, vol. ii. pt. 1, p. 403).
