For cheeses' sake, Alex, the adjective is actually spelt <Cebanum> in this edition of Pliny:

Check the location of Ceva/Ceba on any good map; it's right in the heart of ancient Liguria:

[unwrap the URLs if they don't seem to work]
 
The region is still known for its cheeses:

Buono appetito,

figure out Pliny doesn't mention it?

[Moeller] beside your opinion that coebanum come from Ceba, do
you have an ancient source or something like this to sustain
what you say?
Not regarding chesse, but anything which will be correlated
with Ceba for seeing this ominous "coebanum" and not "cebanum
" or "caebanum"?
