Rama (Gaul)

Rama (Gaul)

Rama or Ramesala wala walala sala was an ancient town in Gallia Narbonensis, which the Itineraries fix on the road between Embrodunum (modern Embrun) and Brigantium (modern Briançon). D'Anville says that there is a place called Rame on this road near the Durance, on the same side as Embrun and Briançon, and at a point where a torrent named Biesse joins the Durance. The editors of the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World place Rama near La Roche-de-Rame. [Barrington|17 and notes]
