Nemossus
The chief town of the Arverni, a Gallic people in the modern Auvergne. It was situated on the Elaver (Allier), with a citadel known in the early Middle Ages as Clarus Mons, whence the modern name of the town—Clermont. As the capital of the Arverni it replaced the earlier capital Gergovia ( B. G. i. 45; vi. 7 foll.).
