  Proculus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Probably Proculus had family connection with the Franks, to whom he turned in vain when his bid for imperial power was failing.
He was a native of Albingaunum (modern Albenga in Liguria).
Though he was accounted a noble, his ancestors had been brigands and were the source of his vast wealth.

 Albenga - LoveToKnow Watches
ALBENGA, a town and episcopal see of Liguria, Italy, on the N.W. coast of the Gulf of Genoa, in the province of Genoa, 522 m.
Albenga is the ancient Album Ingaunum or Albingaunum, the chief town of the Ingauni, one of the most important of the Ligurian tribes, whose territory reached as far as Genoa.
To the S. of the town is a conspicuous monument, 27 ft. high, in the form of a rectangular pillar, resembling a tomb; but as there is no trace of a door to a sepulchral chamber it may be a shrine.

 Ceva - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the first century CE Columella referred to a particular breed of cattle raised here, and Pliny the Elder praised its sheep’s milk cheese in his Natural History.
The town is on the site of the old Roman road from Augusta Taurinorum via Pollentia to the coast and it is probable that there was a market here from which the cheese produced in the region was exported with Rome via the Ligurian ports of Vada Sabatia (the modern Vado Ligure) and/or Albingaunum (Albenga).
In the middle ages it was a strong fortress defending the confines of Piedmont towards Liguria, but the fortifications on the rock above the town were demolished in 1800 by the French, to whom it had been ceded in 1796.

Taking pride of place are the remains of the fifteenth-century frescoes that adorned what used to be a chapel and the bishop's own bedchamber (the latter decorated by Provençal artists with a mixture of sombre and bright flower patterns to represent night and day).
A few metres west, where Via Medaglie d'Oro crosses Via Ricci, is the thirteenth-century Loggia dei Quattro Canti, marking the town centre of Roman Albingaunum.
Some 500m north of here, beyond Piazza Garibaldi and along Viale Pontelungo, you'll find the odd sight of an elegant, arched 150m bridge spanning nothing much: the Pontelungo was built here in the twelfth century to cross the river, which shifted course soon afterwards.

 The Gift
Your father shall discuss the terms of the marriage contract and make additional provisions for the setting-up of your household at the time of your arrival.
Gaius had always know his father would try to arrange a marriage -- the threat of such was one reason he'd left home -- Albingaunum, in Liguria -- to make his own way in Rome, but he hadn't expected the old man would eventually achieve it.
He'd made certain his reputation was suitably tarnished, to the point that no decent family would want to turn over a daughter to such an eccentric man and blatantly disobedient son.

 The Histories [of Ancient Rome] by Cornelius Tacitus:book 2
Some of them launched a blind pursuit, and the cavalry faced about and surrounded them.
A tacit truce was then concluded, and to obviate any surprise move by the fleet on the one side or the cavalry on the other, the Vitellians returned to Antipolis in Narbonese Gaul and the Othonians to Albingaunum further back in Liguria.
Corsica, Sardinia and the other Mediterranean islands in adjacent waters were kept on Otho's side by the prestige of the victorious fleet.
