an ancient city of the Pannonians. It was taken by Germanicus about the 7th year of the Christian era; but its reduction was more owing to the disagreement that reigned among the inhabitants than to the valour of the Romans. The greater part of the citizens were for submitting; but the women, more fond of their ancient laws and liberties than the men, joined some Roman deserters, and falling upon their husbands, killed a great number of them: but being at last overcome by the men, who then submitted to the Romans, the women either threw themselves headlong from the tops of the walls, or, setting fire to their houses, burnt themselves and their children to death.
