Positioned on the southern banks of the Oude Rijn, it served to protect the Roman borders in the province of Germania Inferior (Limes Germanicus). On the Peutinger map, it lies between the encampments of Albaniana (Alphen aan den Rijn) and Praetorium Agrippinae (Valkenburg). The seventh-century Ravenna Cosmography cites the name in the accusative case as Matellionem.

Matilo ou Matilone, - aujourd'hui Leyde-Roomburg - est un castellum d'une cohorte et du vicus des Limes du Vieux Rhin en Germanie inférieure. Jusque 1575, le nom de Lugdunum était utilisé erronément pour désigner Leyde dont le nom médiéval - Leithon - est simplement dérivé d'une petite rivière - la Leede.
