Larix

Larix or LARICE, a place on the southern frontier of Noricum, at the foot of the Julian Alps, and on the road from Aquileia to Lauriacum. The town seems to have owed its name to the forests of larch trees which abound in that district, and its site must be looked for between Idria and Krainburg, in Illyricum. (It. Ant. p. 276; comp. Muehar, Noricum, p. 247.)
