OBILA

OBILA(Ὀβίλα, Ptol. 2.5.9), a town of the Vettones in Hispania Tarraconensis, the site of which it is difficult to determine, but it is supposed to be the modern Avila. (Hieron. de Vir. Ill. 100.121, and Florez, Esp. S. 14.3, ap. Ukert, vol. ii. pt. 1. p. 431) Reichard, however, identifies it with Oliva.
