BATAVORUM Oppidum, in Ancient Geography, a town
in the island of the Batavi, mentioned by Tacitus,
without any particular name; which has given rise to
several surmises about it, some supposing it to be Nime-
guen, but Cluverius, Batavadurum or Batemburg, both
without the island; which situation renders both these
places inadmissible, since Tacitus places this nameless
town within the island.
