in Ancient Geography, a district of Italy, to the south of the Po, originally occupied, as its name imports, by the Gauls, and separated from Liguria on the W. by the Iria, running from S. to N. into the Po, and bounded on the S. by the Appenines, and on the E. by the Adriatic. The term is formed analogically, frequent mention being made in Cicero, Tacitus, Suetonius, and ancient inscriptions, of the Transpadani, which, with Cispadani, are terms used with respect to Rome. Ptolemy calls the Cispalana Gallia Togata; it extended between the Po and Apennines to the Sapis and Rubicon.
