BROCOMAGUS
BROCOMAGUS (
Brumath), a town of the Tribocci, on the road from Argentoratum (
Strassburg) to
Cologne. It is
Βρευκόμαγος in Ptolemy (
2.9.18). Julian (
Amm. Marc. 16.2) defeated some Germans here.
This town also occurs in the Antonine Itin.
It is easily identified with
Brumnath on the
Zorn, in the department of
Bas Rhin, between
Strassburg and
Haguenau. Many Roman remains have been found about it. Ruins of Roman walls are said to exist north of the
Zorn, and traces of a Roman road to
Selz. [
