BAUDOBRICA
BAUDOBRICA is placed in the Table, where it is named Bontobrice, above Confluentes (
Coblenz) at the junction of the
Rhine and
Mosel. The Notitia places it between Coblenz and
Bingen. It is twice mentioned in the Antonine Itin., under the name of Baudobrica; but it is erroneously placed between Antunnacum (
Andernach) and
Bonn. The distances in the Table and the column of Tongern, where it is named Bondobrica, fix the site at Boppart, which is on the west bank of the Rhine, between
Oberwesel and
Coblenz. The name
Boppart is the same as the name Bobardia, which occurs in mediaeval documents.
