OROLAUNUM
OROLAUNUM in the north part of Gallia, is placed by the Antonine Itin. on a road from Durocortorum (
Reims) to
Trier. It is placed halfway between Epoissum (
Iptsch) and Andethanna, which D'Anville supposes to be
Epternach, by which he means
Echternach: others place Andethanna about
Anwen. The name
Arlon clearly represents Orolaunum, where Roman remains, as it is said, have been found.
Arlon is in the duchy of
Luxemburg. [
