in Ancient Geography; a district of Italy, to the south of the Po, occupied by the Gauls in the time of the kings of Rome, separated from Liguria on the west, as is thought by the Iria, running from south to north into the Po; bounded on the south by the Apennine, and on the east by the Adriatic. The term is formed analogically, there being much mention in Cicero, Tacitus, Suetonius, and ancient inscriptions, made of the Transpadani; and which Cispadani are terms used with respect to Rome. Ptolemy calls the Cispadana peculiarly Gallia Togata, extending between the Po and Apennine, to the Sapis and Rubicon.
