Septimania (, ; , ; , ) was the western region of the Roman province of
Gallia Narbonensis that passed under the control of the
Visigoths in 462, when Septimania was ceded to their king,
Theodoric II. Under the Visigoths it was known as simply
Gallia or
Narbonensis. It corresponded roughly with the modern French region of
Languedoc-Roussillon. It passed briefly to the
Emirate of Córdoba in the eighth century before its conquest by the
Franks, who by the end of the ninth century termed it
Gothia or the
Gothic March (
Marca Gothica).
