Forum Ligneum

Forum Ligneum is placed by the Antonine Itin. on the road from Caesar Augusta (Saragosa), in Spain, to Beneharmum, in Gallia. [BENEHARMUM.] The distance from Summus Pyrenaeus to Forum Ligneum is marked 5, and from Forum Ligneum to Aspaluca (Pont Lesquit), 7. Walckenaer takes these distances to be Gallic leagues, though one would suppose that they are Roman miles. However, distances measured in a mountain pass are very loose; and there is no certainty about the exact position of Forum Ligneum.
