Romans (French pronunciation: [ʁɔmɑ̃] ⓘ) is a commune in the Ain department in eastern France.

The river Renon flows through the commune from southeast to northwest.

The land of Romans became in 917 the property of Cluny Abbey, when it was given by Ingelberge, wife of William I, Duke of Aquitaine who founded Cluny Abbey and the daughter of King Boso of Provence.

[4] On 4 March 1718, Claude de Lyobard de Brion, Lord of Romans, sold the land of Romans to Claude César Ferrary, squire and King's Counsellor.

[4] Romans was transformed into an earldom named Romans-Ferrari in December 1763 thanks to Etienne-Lambert 1714-1766 (son of Claude César).
