Tolmo de Minateda

Tolmo de Minateda was an early Roman hilltop oppidum located in the municipal territory of modern Helin in the Spanish autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha. It was abandoned in the second century CE and then reoccupied in Late Antiquity (ca. 590 CE) as a Visigothic episcopal see during the Byzantine-Visigothic war. It was finally abandoned in the ninth century, and the population was resettled in Murcia, a new foundation. Tolmo de Minateda has been tentatively identified with the attested placename Ilounon.
