It was located in the middle of the province on the Muria River and is known for the fact that the Romans were defeated here under the command of Consul Gnei Papirius Carbon from the Cimbrians ( 113 BC ), as well as the unsuccessful siege of the battles in the time of Julius Caesar . No debris found. Presumably located in the area of modern Neumarkt in Styria [1] .
