Sabaudia
Sabaudia refers to a historical region in southeastern Gaul, primarily encompassing the modern departments of Haute-Savoie and Savoie, situated between the Isère valley and Lake Geneva. The area is rich in history, notably linked to the Burgundian kingdom, which was relocated to Sabaudia in 443 AD after the fall of Borbetomagus. The region highlights a blend of cultural influences, reflecting its significance during the Roman era and the subsequent migrations in the early medieval period. Noteworthy historical markers in Sabaudia include the Roman funerary Arch of Campanus in Aix-les-Bains, erected by the patrician Pompey Lucius Campanus in honor of his deceased family. This arch symbolizes the region's Roman heritage and serves as a reminder of the social and political dynamics that shaped Sabaudia's history. As an area with substantial archaeological and historical interest, Sabaudia offers insights into the interactions of various cultures and peoples, making it a significant topic for those exploring ancient history and regional development in France.

Sapaudia (Savoie, Savoy)
A territory extending from the middle Isara (Isère) valley (southeastern Gaul) up as far as Lake Brigantius (the lake of Geneva), comprising the modern departments of Haute-Savoie and Savoie; although the name Sabaudia was also sometimes applied to a more limited area). After Aetius, the general of the western emperor Valentinian III—with the aid of his allies the Huns—had destroyed the Burgundian kingdom based on Borbetomagus (Worms) farther north (436), he assigned the surviving Burgundians territory in Sabaudia (443), from which they gradually expanded to the north and west, and attempted to expand to the south.
