History
Etanna was a civitas of the Allobroges in Gallia Narbonensis and is also attested as a Roman road station. It was likely located in the modern French commune of Yenne, but its precise location is uncertain.

Past scholarly suggestions for siting Etanna include at the modern villages of Yenne and Etain. More recently, a rescue excavation of part of a Roman-era bathing establishment at Grand Lagneux, has suggested a third possibility.
