Latobici
The Latobici or Latovici (Gaulish: ''Latobicoi'') were a Celtic tribe dwelling in Pannonia Superior, around present-day Drnovo (Slovenia), during the Roman period. Name They are mentioned as ''Latovici'' by Pliny (1st c. AD), as Λατόβικοι (''Latóbikoi'') by Ptolemy (2nd c. AD), and as ''Latobici'' on an inscription from Neviodunum (modern Drnovo) dated to 117–130 AD. CIL 03:10804., s.v. ''Latobici''. The ethnonym ''Latobici'' is a Latinized form of the Gaulish ''Latobicoi'', which derives from the stem *''lāto''-, meaning 'furor, ardour' (cf. Old Irish ''láth'', Welsh ''lawd''), probably after the name of the Celtic god '' Latobios'' (*''Lātu-biyos'' 'Furious Striker'). Pierre-Yves Lambert has proposed to translate ''Latobici'' as 'the lineage of Latobios'. A homonym tribe, the Latobrigi (or Latobici), dwelled further northwest near the Helvetii. Whether they were actually related or even identical remains debated. Geography The Latobici dwelled near the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Latobrigi
The Latobrigi (or Latovici) were a Celtic tribe mentioned in Julius Caesar's '' Commentarii''. According to Caesar, 14,000 Latobrigi joined the Helvetii in their attempted migration to southwestern France in 58 BC, together with several larger contingents from other tribes. After the defeat at Bibracte, they were ordered to return to their homes and are not mentioned again in the ''Commentarii''. Due to the lack of sources, their localisation remains largely speculative, though an area close to the Helvetian territory is usually assumed. It has been suggested that they may be attested in an inscription from ''Brigantia''-Bregenz, Austria, or that ''Juliomagus''-Schleitheim might have been their tribal centre.SPM IV ''Eisenzeit - Age du Fer - Età del Ferro'', Basel 1999, p. 37. .

Colapiani
This is a list of ancient tribes in the ancient territory of Illyria (; ). The name ''Illyrians'' seems to be the name of a single Illyrian tribe that was the first to come into contact with the ancient Greeks, causing the name Illyrians to be applied to all people of similar language and customs. The locations of Illyrian tribes/peoples prior to the Roman conquest are approximate, as sometimes many wholly different locations are given by ancient writers and modern authors (as in the case of the Enchelei). After the Great Illyrian Revolt, the Romans deported, split, and resettled Illyrian tribes within Illyria itself and to Dacia, sometimes causing whole tribes to vanish and new ones to be formed from their remains, such as the Deraemestae and the Docleatae, some of them mixed with Celtic tribes (see Celticization). Many tribal names are known from Roman and the number of their , formed of the dispersed tribes in Illyria. Illyrian Albani The '' Albani'' (Latinized form of ...

Gaulish
Gaulish is an extinct Celtic languages, Celtic language spoken in parts of Continental Europe before and during the period of the Roman Empire. In the narrow sense, Gaulish was the language of the Celts of Gaul (now France, Luxembourg, Belgium, most of Switzerland, Northern Italy, as well as the parts of the Netherlands and Germany on the west bank of the Rhine). In a wider sense, it also comprises varieties of Celtic that were spoken across much of central Europe ("Noric language, Noric"), parts of the Balkans, and Anatolia ("Galatian language, Galatian"), which are thought to have been closely related. The more divergent Lepontic language, Lepontic of Northern Italy has also sometimes been subsumed under Gaulish. Together with Lepontic and the Celtiberian language, Celtiberian spoken in the Iberian Peninsula, Gaulish is a member of the geographic group of Continental Celtic languages. The precise linguistic relationships among them, as well as between them and the modern Insul ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Groblje Pri Prekopi

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 ...

Flavia Solva
Flavia Solva was a municipium in the ancient Roman province of Noricum. It was situated on the western banks of the Mur river, close to the modern cities of Wagna and Leibnitz in the southern parts of the Austrian province of Styria. It is the only Roman city in modern Austrian Styria. Foundation and layout The Celto-Roman dwelling on the banks of the Mur river that should later become Flavia Solva was founded around year 15 while Noricum was still a Roman protectorate. This precursor consisted of a small cluster of wooden buildings, and did not follow a grand layout plan. It is believed that the Celtic element in its population came from the hill settlement on the nearby ''Frauenberg'' which had a tradition tracing back to Neolithic ages. Very few remains from this phase have been found. Shortly after the annexation of Noricum as a Roman province, the place was made a ''municipium'' around year 70 by emperor Vespasian who added the name of his Flavian dynasty to the local n ...
