LUTE´VA( Eth. Lutevani: Lodève), in Gallia Narbonensis, is placed by the Table, where the name is written Loteva, on a road from Agatha ( Agde) to Segodunum ( Rhodez). Pliny (Plin. Nat. 3.5) says, Lutevani qui et Foroneronienses,whence it has been concluded that he means the Forum Neronis mentioned by Ptolemy as being in the country of the Memini. [CARPENTORACTE] But the name Luteva, the modern name Lodève, and the Itin. seem to determine the position of Luteva; and, if Pliny is right, we must suppose that Luteva was also named Forum Neronis.
