Cenabum, Cenabaum or Genabum was the name of an oppidum of the Carnutes tribe, situated on the site of what is now Orléans. It was a prosperous commercial city on the river Loire at the time of Caesar's conquest of Gaul.This port was the commercial outlet for the grain produced in the Beauce. The city had strong fortifications, and also controlled a bridge over the Loire of considerable economic and strategic importance. Strabo, in his Geography, calls the city the 'emporium of the Carnutes . Kenabon/Cenabum is probably a transcription of a Gallic word with the same sense.
