The Antonine Itin. and the Table place Belca between Brivodurum and Genabum ( Orléans), and Condate, Cosne(Massava in the Table), between Brivodurum and Nevirnum ( Nevers). There is the usual difficulty about the numbers. Walckenaer places Brivodurum at La, Villeneuvenear Bonny. The road evidently followed the right bank of the Loire, as it does now from Neversto Orléans.
