Segusiavi
The Segusiavi (Gaulish: *''Segusiauī/Segusiawī'') were a Gallic tribe dwelling around the modern city of Feurs (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes) during the Iron Age and the Roman period. Name They are named in Latin as ''Segusiavi'' by Caesar (mid-1st c. BC) and Pliny (1st c. AD), and in Greek as ''Segosianoi'' ( gen. Σεγοσιανῶν) by Strabo (early 1st c. AD) and as ''Segousiantoi'' (gen. Σεγουσιάντων) by Ptolemy (2nd c. AD).Ptolemy. ''Geōgraphikḕ Hyphḗgēsis'', 2:8:11., s.v. ''Segusiavi'' and ''Forum Segusiavorum''. The etymology of the Gaulish ethnonym *''Segusiauī/Segusiawī'' is unclear. It probably stems from the Gaulish root ''sego-'' ('victory, force'), but the second element is problematic. Irish folklorist Dáithí Ó hÓgáin tentatively translates their name as the 'Victorious Ones'. Since the ''Segusiavi'' possessed a wide area just north of the Greek colony of Massalia (Marseille) at the time of Aristotle, he has proposed to see their name as ...

Map Gallia Tribes Towns
A map is a symbolic depiction of interrelationships, commonly spatial, between things within a space. A map may be annotated with text and graphics. Like any graphic, a map may be fixed to paper or other durable media, or may be displayed on a transitory medium such as a computer screen. Some maps change interactively. Although maps are commonly used to depict geography, geographic elements, they may represent any space, real or fictional. The subject being mapped may be two-dimensional such as Earth's surface, three-dimensional such as Earth's interior, or from an abstract space of any dimension. Maps of geographic territory have a very long tradition and have existed from ancient times. The word "map" comes from the , wherein ''mappa'' meant 'napkin' or 'cloth' and ''mundi'' 'of the world'. Thus, "map" became a shortened term referring to a flat representation of Earth's surface. History Maps have been one of the most important human inventions for millennia, allowin ...

Historical Celtic Peoples
History is the systematic study of the past, focusing primarily on the human past. As an academic discipline, it analyses and interprets evidence to construct narratives about what happened and explain why it happened. Some theorists categorize history as a social science, while others see it as part of the humanities or consider it a hybrid discipline. Similar debates surround the purpose of history—for example, whether its main aim is theoretical, to uncover the truth, or practical, to learn lessons from the past. In a more general sense, the term ''history'' refers not to an academic field but to the past itself, times in the past, or to individual texts about the past. Historical research relies on primary and secondary sources to reconstruct past events and validate interpretations. Source criticism is used to evaluate these sources, assessing their authenticity, content, and reliability. Historians strive to integrate the perspectives of several sources to devel ...
