Wikipedia
Transalpine
Gallia Narbonensis (Latin for "Gaul of Narbonne", from its chief settlement) was a Roman province located in what is now Languedoc and Provence, in Southern France. It was also known as Provincia Nostra ("Our Province"), because it was the first Roman province north of the Alps, and as Gallia Transalpina ("Transalpine Gaul"), distinguishing it from Cisalpine Gaul in Northern Italy. It became a Roman province in the late 2nd century BC. Gallia Narbonensis was bordered by the Pyrenees Mountains on the west, the Cévennes to the north, the Alps on the east, and the Gulf of Lion on the south; the province included the majority of the Rhone catchment. The western region of Gallia Narbonensis was known as Septimania. The province was a valuable part of the Roman Empire, owing to the Greek colony of Massalia, its location between the Spanish provinces and Rome, and its financial output.

transalpine
Transalpine generally refers to anything that is situated on or comes from the far side of the Alps, in relation to the point of view of the speaker. This term is often used to describe regions, tribes, or routes. For instance, from the perspective of someone in Italy, France would be considered a transalpine country. The term is rooted from the Latin word "transalpinus", with "trans-" meaning across and "Alpinus" meaning Alps.
