Matilo was a Roman fort (castellum) in modern-day Leiden, positioned on the southern banks of the Oude Rijn. It served to protect the Roman borders in the province of Germania Inferior [1]. On the Peutinger map, it lies between the encampments of Albaniana and Praetorium Agrippinae (Valkenburg) [1]. The seventh-century Ravenna Cosmography cites the name in the accusative case as Matellionem [1].
