in Ancient Geography, now Weißenburg, a town of Trauylvania, on the river Marius, or Merich, to the west of Hermannstät, supposed to be called Alba Julia, after Julia Domna the mother of Caracalla. There are, however, several inscriptions found at or near Weißenburg, which bear Col. APUL. that is, Colonia Apulenfia, without the least mention of Alba Julia, though inscribed after Caracalla's time. Add, that Ulpian, reciting the colonies of Dacia, calls this colony Apulenfia, and neither Alba nor Julia. Whence there is a suspicion, that Alba Julia is a corruption of Apulum. It was also called Apulum Augustum. E. Long. 2° 5'. Lat. 46° 46'.
