STAGNA VOLCARUM on the coast of Gallia Narbonensis. Mela (2.5) speaks of the Stagna Volcarum, which he places W. of the Rhone. They are the long line of étangsbetween Aigues-Morteand Agde, separated from the land by a long, narrow, flat, which widens near Cette, where the Mons Setius is. These lagunes are the Étangs de Tau, de Frontignan, de Maguelone, and others. Avienus ( Or. Marit. 58) mentions the Taurus or Étang de Tau:Taurum paludem namque gentiles vocant.
