I had always suspected the geographical authorities did not
know what they were talking about when they located the
battlefield of Munda in the county of the Bastuli-Poeni, close
to the modern Monda, some two leagues north of Marbella.
According to my own surmise, founded on the text of the
anonymous author of the Bellum Hispaniense, and on certain
information culled from the excellent library owned by the
Duke of Ossuna, I believed the site of the memorable struggle
in which Caesar played double or quits, once and for all, with
the champions of the Republic, should be sought in the
neighbourhood of Montilla.
