APTA, or APTA JULIA, (Pliny); now Apte, in Provence, on the river Calavon, seven leagues to the north of Aix, and nine to the north of Avignon. In the Notitiae it is called Civitas Abrensium: Pliny reckons it among the Latin towns. That it was a colony, appears from an inscription on a stone found at Arles, (Sirmond). E. Long. 5. 56. Lat. 43. 23.
