AUGUSTA TRICASTINORUM as Pliny (Plin. Nat. 3.4) calls it, or Augusta, as it is simply called in the Itineraries. It was on the road between Valentia ( Valence), on the Rhone, and Dea Vocontiorum (Die). It is said to be Aoust-en-Diois, on the Drôme a branch of the Rhone, and in the department of Drôme.
