Barzan, Charente-Maritime
Barzan () is a commune in the Charente-Maritime department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of south-western France. The inhabitants of the commune are known as ''Barzanais'' or ''Barzanaises''. The commune is the site of a major Gallo-Roman site of Barzan structured excavations carried out since 1994. Aerial photographs and the first archaeological excavations have revealed the presence of a Gallo-Roman port city of great importance (a monumental Gallo-Roman temple, baths, forum, theatre etc.). Other remains are the subject of annual excavations. It seems almost certain that this Gallo-Roman town is the ''Novioregum'' indicated in the Antonine Itinerary. It could also be the ''Portus Santonum'' (the port of the Santones) described by Ptolemy. Geography Barzan is located some 30 km south-west of Saintes and 15 km south-east of Royan in the former province of Saintonge.

Barzan ( ku, بارزان, Barzan) is a village located on the eastern shores of the Great Zab in Erbil Governorate in Kurdistan Region, Iraq. History The village was formerly the territory of Zebari tribe and was part of Bahdinan under the name ''Baziran''. In the 19th century, the village was the residence of a Naqshbandi Sheikh and his followers, now known as the Barzani tribe.
