Novioregum was a Gallo-Roman vicus within the Civitas Santonum, the administrative territory of the Santon people. The settlement reached its peak in the 2nd century AD but was abandoned by the 4th or 5th century, leaving its precise location uncertain for centuries. Archaeological evidence now strongly suggests that Novioregum corresponds to the site of Le Fâ in Barzan, Charente-Maritime, France.
