CABELLIO(Gallia Narbonensis) colonia. This town, the Caballio of Strabo, is mentioned by Pliny with Aquae Sextiae (Aix), Apta Julia (Apt),Nemausus (Nismes), and other oppida Latina in the Narbonensian Gaul. It is now called Cavaillon in the Comtat Venaissin (department of Vaucluse), southern France. The coins of Cabellio are in silver and brass; and they prove correctness of Ptolemy in stating it to have been a colony of the Romans.
