Popis: I propose a new interpretation of Strabo 4.1.12 and 4.6.4. In base of these ambigous texts, it has been hypothesized that Nemausus was not subjected to the orders of the governor of Narbonensis. However, no latin community is known to have been independent from the jurisdiction of the provincial governor and there are no evidences to prove that Nemausus had an special privilege. Strabo’s phrases are about the 24 komai atributed to Nemausus, and it’s possible to explain them within the roman institutional frame.
