Acci

Acci was an ancient inland city of Hispania Tarraconensis, on the borders of Baetica [1]. Under the Romans, and with the Jus Latinum, it was a colony with the full name of Colonia Julia Gemella Accitana [1]. According to Macrobius, Mars was worshipped here with his head surrounded with the sun's rays, under the name of Netos [1]. The town became Christian at an early date; the Diocese of Acci was established in 47 AD [1]. The location is now called Guadix el Viejo or Castillo de Luchena in the municipality of Purullena, Comarca de Guadix, Province of Granada, Andalusia, Spain, and is 6 kilometres northwest of the modern city of Guadix [1].
