Magetobria
MAGETO´BRIAor ADMAGETO´BRIA, in Gallia. Probably the true name ended in -brivaor briga.Ariovistus, the German, defeated the forces of the Galli in a fight at this place. (Caes. B. G. 1.31.) The site of Magetobria is unknown. The resemblance of name induced D'Anville ( Notice, &c. ) to fix it at Moigte de Broie, near the confluence of the Ognonand the Saône, a little above Pontarlier. There is a story of a broken urn, with the inscription MAGETOB.,having been found in the Saônein 1802. But this story is of doubtful credit, and the urn cannot be found now. Walckenaer supposes Amageon the Brenchin, which is west of Faucgneyand east of Luxeuil, to correspond best to the indications in Caesar's text. But Caesar does not give us the least indication of the position of Magetobria.
[G.L]The modern Moigte de Broie, on the Saône. A town on the western frontiers of the Sequani, near which the Gauls were defeated by the Germans shortly before Caesar's arrival in Gaul ( B. G. i. 31).
