Bocchoris

Bocchoris (also known as Bocchor, Bocchorum, and Oppidum Bochoritanum) was an ancient city in northern Majorca (Balearic Islands, Spain), dating back to pre-Roman times. It was one of the oldest settlements in Majorca, tracing its origins to the Bronze Age. After the Second Punic War or the Roman co

nquest of the Balearic Islands by consul Quintus Caecilius Metellus, it was a foederatus (federated city to Rome), as recorded by Pliny the Elder. Little is known about its history, despite the recovery of two complete tabulae patronatus in the area.
