Acci ( Ancient Greek : Ἄκκι ) was an ancient inland city of Hispania Tarraconensis , on the borders of Baetica . Under the Romans , and with the Jus Latinum , it was a colony with the full name of Colonia Julia Gemella Accitana . Its coins are numerous, bearing the heads of Augustus , Tiberius , Germanicus , Drusus , and Caligula , and the ensigns of the legions iii. and vi., from which it was colonized by Julius Caesar or Augustus , and from which it derived the name of Gemella . According to Macrobius , Mars was worshipped here with his head surrounded with the sun's rays, under the name of Netos . Such an emblem is seen on the coins. The town became Christian at an early date; the Diocese of Acci was established in 47 AD. The bishop is no longer resident in the uninhabited site, but Acci remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church .
