Ausa
Αὔσα
Ausa (Αὔσα), the chief city of the AUSETANI was called in the middle ages Ausona and Vicus Ausonensis, Viec de Osane, whence its modern name of Vique, or Vich. It lies W. of Gerona, on a S. tributary of the Ter, the ancient Alba. (Plin. Nat. 3.3. s. 4; Ptol. 2.6.70; Marca, Hisp. 2.22, p. 191.) There is a coin with the inscription AUSA; but it is probably spurious. (Eckhel, vol. i. p. 35; Mionnet, vol. i. p. 29; Sestini, Lettere, vol. ix. praef., Med. Isp. p. 104; Ukert, vol. ii. pt. 1. p. 426.)
