Namare — by H. Bender — last modified Oct 10, 2024 11:22 AM

The Peutinger map situates "Namare" in modern Austria on an ancient road between "Trigisamo" (also unlocated) and "Arelate" (Arelape, modern Pöchlarn). For decades, scholars have speculated that Namare might have been a Roman fort, situated at what is now Melk; however, despite some finds over the years, this theory has not been archaeologically proven. More recently, purported archaeological finds at nearby Großpriel have provided a possible alternative identification.
