Celsa (Κέλσα: Celsensis: Ru. at Velilla near Xelsa), a city of the Ilergetes, in Hispania Tarraconensis, on the Iberus, which was here crossed by a stone bridge, ruins of which still remain. Under the Romans, it was a colony, with the surname Victrix Julia, and it belonged to the conventus of Caesaraugusta. Several of its coins are extant, belonging to the reigns of Augustus and Tiberius. (Strab. iii. p.161; Plin. Nat. 3.3. s. 4; Ptol. 2.6.68; Marca, Hisp. 2.28; Florez, Esp.
