TARODU´NUM
TARODU´NUM (
Ταρόδουνον), a town in the south-west of Germany between Mons Abnoba and the Rhenus. (
Ptol. 2.11.30.)
It is universally identified with
Mark Zarten near
Freiburg in the
Breisgau, which, down to the 8th century, bore the name of Zarduna, a name which is formed from Tarodunum in the same way in which
Zabern is formed from Tabernae.
