Moron (ancient city)

Moron was an ancient city mentioned by Strabo. Several hypotheses exist related to its location, but a location near Santarém is strongly considered.

Strabo mentions that Decimus Junius Brutus Callaicus made camp on an island near the city [1] identified as modern Almourol on the river Tagus.

Another hypothesis points to Alpiarça.
