  Aquilonia (Conan) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aquilonia is a fictional country created by Robert E. Howard as part of his Hyborian world, created for his character Conan the Barbarian.
Howard was quite precise concerning the geographic relationships between his fictional world and modern Europe, and Aquilonia can be placed in modern France and southern Britain.
The fictional country of Aquilonia should not be confused with the town of Aquilonia in Italy; however, there are distinct similarities between the geographies of Howard's Hyborean World and modern day Europe.

By Conan's time, Aquilonia's royal house was in a state of decadence and the Westermarck region on the verge of revolt.
