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 Apennines, 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; which and Cispadani are terms used with respect to Rome. Ptolemy calls the Cispadana peculiarly Gallia Yogata, extending between the Po and Appenines, to the Sapis and Rubicon.
