GASTIAIN
Navarra, Spain.
Village in the
municipality of Valle de Lana on the border of the province of Alava. It was apparently a Roman vicus. A later
sanctuary dedicated to San Sebastian incorporated many
funerary inscriptions, which provide data on primitive
naming systems (
CIL II, 2950-57). The sanctuary has
recently been demolished and the inscriptions have been
moved to the Museo de Navarra in Pamplona.
