(Pliny, Antonine, Inscriptions); a town of Lusitania, situated on the north side of the frith of the Tagus; of such antiquity, that Solinus thought it was built by Ulysses; and Mele, probably to favour this opinion, writes, according to the common copies, Ulyssipon; both of them perhaps deceived by the simi- larity of sound. It was a municipium, with the sur- name Felicitas Julia, a privilege granted by the mun- ificence of Augustus, (Inscriptions, Pliny). Now Lisbon, capital of Portugal, situated on the north bank of the Tagus, distant about ten miles from its mouth. See LISBON.
