Oppidum Novum

OPPIDUM NOVUM(Ὄππιδον Νέον, Ptol. 4.2.25), a town of Mauretania, colonised in the reign of the emperor Claudius, by the veterans (Plin. Nat. 5.1), which Ptolemy (l. c.) places 10‘ to the E. of Manliana, and the Antonine Itinerary 18 M. P. to the W.; Ptolemy's position agrees with the Sinaabof Shaw ( Trav. p. 58), where that traveller found ruins on the W. bank of the Chinalaph. The town of the Itinerary corresponds with El Khádarah, the Chadraof Edrisi ( Geog. Nub. p. 81), situated on arising ground, on the brink of the same river, where there are also ruins.

OPPIDUM NOVUMof Aquitania in Gallia, is placed by the Antonine Itin. on the road from Aquae Tarbellicae ( Dax) to Tolosa ( Toulouse), and between Beneharmum and Aquae Convenarum. [NEHARNUM; AQUAE CONVENARUM.] D'Anville has fixed Oppidum Novum at Naye, the chief reason for which is some resemblance of name.
