NOVIOREGUM
NOVIOREGUM in Gallia, is placed by the Antonine Itin. on a road from Burdigala (
Bordeaux) to Mediolanum Santonum (
Saintes); and between Tamnum (
Talmon or Tallemont) and Mediolanum. D'Anville supposes Novioregum to be
Royan on the north side of the
Gironde; but this place is quite out of the direct road to
Saintes, as D'Anville admits.
He has to correct the distance also in the Itin. between Tamnum and Novioregum to make it agree with the distance between
Talmon and
Royan. [
