==Geographical significance==
The ancients considered Exilles the first place in Italy coming from [[Gaul]] over the Alpine passes. As Scingomagus ([[Greek language|Greek]] {{polytonic|Σκιγγόμαγος}}, Exilles is first mentioned by [[Strabo]] (iv.), who says, when he is speaking of one of the passes of the Alps, that from Ebrodunum (modern [[Embrun, Hautes-Alpes|Embrun]]) on the [[Gaul|Gallic]] side through Brigantium (modern [[Briançon]]) and Scingomagus and the pass of the Alps to [[Ocelum]], the limit of the land of [[Cottius]] (the [[Alpes Cottiae]]) is 99 miles; and at Scingomagus Italy begins: and the distance from Scincomagus to Ocelum is 27 miles. [[Pliny the Elder]] also (ii. 108) makes Italy extend to the Alps at Scincgmagus, and then he gives the breadth of Gallia from Scingomagus to the [[Pyrenees]] and [[Illiberis]].

History

[edit]

The ancients considered Exilles the first place in Italy coming from Gaul over the Alpine passes. As Scingomagus (Ancient Greek: Σκιγγόμαγος), Exilles is first mentioned by Strabo,[6] who, when speaking of one of the passes of the Alps, says that from Ebrodunum (modern Embrun) on the Gallic side through Brigantium (modern Briançon) and Scingomagus and the pass of the Alps to Ocelum, the limit of the land of Cottius (the Alpes Cottiae) is 159 kilometres (99 mi); and at Scingomagus Italy begins, the distance from Scincomagus to Ocelum being 43 kilometres (27 mi). Pliny the Elder also makes Italy extend to the Alps at Scingomagus, and then he gives the breadth of Gallia from Scingomagus to the Pyrenees and Illiberis.
