ASCIBURGIIUM, in Ancient Geography, mentioned by Tacitus, supposed to be one of the 50 citadels built on the Rhine; who adds, some imagined it was built by Ulysses. Here was a Roman camp and a garrison. To its situation on the banks of the Rhine answers a small hamlet, now called Asburg, not far from Meurs, in the duchy of Cleves.
