Bocchoris (City)
Bocchoris (also known as Bocchorum, Bocchor and Oppidum Bochoritanum) was an ancient city in northern Majorca (Balearic Islands, Spain), dating back to pre-Roman times. It constitutes one of the oldest settlements in Majorca and was once a federated city to Rome, as registered by Pliny the Elder.
Location
Bocchoris lay near the current town of Port de Pollença, on a hill to the right of the road from Port de Pollença to Pollença, around Boquer Valley.
Many traces remain of the city, ca. 1400 BC. A long stretch of the Roman town wall and the entrance gates are still visible, lying about what is now flat farmland. The surrounding area has not been excavated.
Historiography
The civitas bocchoritana, i.e., Bocchoris, constitutes a singular case in the island of Majorca. Evidence that it once was a federated city is sensu stricto confirmed by juridic epigraphy, in the form of two different tabulae patronatus. Pliny the Elder also registered Bocchoris among the federated cities, in his book Naturalis Historia, III, 77–78 in the 1st century BC:
