NIGEIRA
NIGEIRA [
NIGRITAE]
NIGER-PULLUS, Nigropullum, or Nigropullo, in North Gallia, is placed by the Theodosian Table on a road from Lugdunumn Batavorum (
Leiden) to Noviomagus (
Nymeguen).
The distance is marked 11 from Albiniana (
Alfen), ascending the Rhine. Ukert (
Gallien, p. 533) quotes a Dutch author, who says that there is a village near
Woerden still called
Zwarte Kuikenbuurt. (D'Anville,
Notice, &c.)
