CAMBO´NUM
CAMBO´NUM a place in Gallia, mentioned in the Jerusalem Itin., on the road from Civitas Valentia (
Valence), through Civitas Vocontiorum (
Die), to Mansio Vapincum (
Gap).
The route is very particularly described. From
Die it goes to Mansio Luco (
Luc), then to Mutatio Vologatis (
Vaugelas); then the Gaura Mons is ascended, and the traveller comes to Mutatio Cambonum; the next station beyond Cambonum is Mons Seleucus (
Saléon). Walckenaer (vol. iii. p. 46) places Cambonum at
La Combe, to the south of
Montclus. D'Anville did not venture to assign a site for Cambonum; but if the road has been well examined, the place ought not to be doubtful.
