in Ancient Geography, a town of the Trinobantes, a little above Camelodunum. Now Chester in Essex, according to Camden, who supposes it to take its name from the river Colne, and not that it was a colony; though others think Antonine's distance agrees with Sudbury.

COLONIA Equestris, an ancient and noble colony on the Lacus Lemanus. It appears to be the work of Julius Caesar, who settled there Equites Limatenses; and to this Lucan is thought to refer. By the itinerary it is supposed to have stood between Lausanne and Geneva, 12 miles from the last place by Peutinger's map, which directs to Nyon, placed in Cavo Lemano, according to Lucan's expression, that is, a bay or cove of the lake. Its ancient name was Noviodunum, (Notitia Galliae): hence its modern name.
