BATIA´NA in Gallia Narbonensis, is placed in the Table between Acunum (Ancone) and Valentia ( Valence). It appears in the geographer of Ravenna, under the name Vatiana. D'Anville fixes the position at Baix, on the west bank of the Rhone; but Walckenaer ( Géog. &c, vol. 2. p. 204) places it opposite to Baix, at a place named Banes, which is the same name as the Vancianis of the Jerusalem Itin. Probably there was a road on both sides of the river between Valentia and Acunum.
