Luri is a commune of the Haute-Corse department of France on the island of Corsica.
Location
Luri is in the north of the Cap Corse peninsula. It is crossed from west to east by the Luri, a stream that empties into the Tyrrhenian Sea. Villages include Spergane, Luri, Campo and Santa Severa.[3]
History
Luri has been tentatively identified as the Lurinum of Ptolemy[4] both by similarity of name and because of Castellu di Luri, a Roman-style fortification occupied from the third century BC to the 1st century AD.[5] It was in the territory of Ptolemy's tribe, Vanacini, who according to a bronze inscription recording a letter from the emperor Vespasian, had their own senate and magistrates and were therefore probably semi-autonomous.[6] They may have occupied the fort themselves.
