LEVAE FANUM in Gallia Belgica is placed by the Table on the road from Lugdunum Batavorum ( Leiden) to Noviomagus ( Nymegen). Levae Fanum is between Fletio ( Vleuten) and Carvo; 25 M. P. from Fletio and 12 from. Carvo. [CARVO] D'Anville, assuming that he has fixed Carvo right, supposes that there is some omission of places in the Table between Fletio and Carvo, and that we cannot rely upon it. He conjectures that Levae Fanum may be a little beyond Dursteede, on the bank opposite to that of the Batavi, at a place which he calls Liven-dael(vallis Levae), this Leva being some local divinity. Walckenaer fixes Levae Fanum at Leersum.
