Pompey founds (according to tradition), the town of Pompaelo (modern Pamplona), located about two hundred miles (three hundred and twenty kilometers) northeast of Madrid and twenty-four miles (forty kilometers) from the present French border on a pass through the Pyrenees.
In the winter of 75–74 BCE, the area serves as a camp for Pompey in the war against Sertorius.
Actually, it is the chief town of the Vascones, who call it Iruña, 'the city'.
