Nauportus

Now Ober or Upper Laibach; an important town of the Taurisci, situated on the river Nauportus (Laibach), a tributary of the Savus, in Pannonia Superior (Vell. Paterc. ii. 110). The name was traditionally derived from the legendary landing of the Argonauts at this place, where they are said to have founded the town, afterwards carrying their vessel across the Alps to the Adriatic. See Argonautae.
