Nemossus

The chief town of the Arverni, a Gallic people in the modern Auvergne. It was situated on the Elaver (Allier), with a citadel known in the early Middle Ages as Clarus Mons, whence the modern name of the town—Clermont. As the capital of the Arverni it replaced the earlier capital Gergovia (B. G. i. 45; vi. 7 foll.).
