 Noviodunum or Colonia Iulia Equestris was a Roman era settlement in what is now Nyon in the Canton of Vaud in Switzerland.
 ==Origin of the name==
 Noviodunum is a name of Celtic origin, meaning "new fort": It comes from ''nowyo'', Celtic for "new", and ''dun'', the Celtic for "hillfort" or "fortified settlement", cognate of English ''town''.  It was the urban center of the larger Colonia.  Although the name the city, Noviodunum, is certainly Celtic in origin, it is first mentioned in written sources in about 400AD.〔
 The name Colonia Iulia Equestris is more descriptive.  A Colonia was originally a Roman outpost established in conquered territory to secure it. Eventually, however, the term came to denote the highest status of Roman city.  ''Iulia'' refers to either Julius Caesar or Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus.  The first settlers in the Colonia were army veterans, especially cavalrymen or ''equester'' which led to the name ''Equestris''.
