NERU´SII (Eth.

This name of a people occurs in the Trophy of the Alps (
Plin. Nat. 3.20. s. 24), between the Oratelli and Velauni. Ptolemy (
3.1.41) places them within his Italy among the Maritime Alps. Their chief town was Vintium, which is
Vence, on the west side of the
Var, and not far from Nicaea (
Nizza).
