Contra Aginnum

Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography

CONTRA AGINNUM is placed by the Anton. Itin. half way between Augusta Veromanduorum ( St. Quentin) and Augusta Suessionum ( Soissons), 13 M. P. from each. The Table makes the distance 25 M. P. between these two places, and does not mention Contra Aginnum. D'Anville places Contra Aginnum at Condranon the Oise. The Notitia mentions a body of Batavi Contraginnenses who were stationed at Noviomagus Belgicae Secundae or Noyon.
