Topic: Aquitani


  
  Strabo's Geography 4.2
For, speaking in a general way, the Aquitani differ from the Galatic race in the build of their bodies as well as in their speech; that is, they are more like the Iberians.
There are more than twenty tribes of the Aquitani, but they are small and lacking in repute; the majority of the tribes live along the ocean, while the others reach up into the interior and to the summits of the Cemmenus Mountains, as far as the Tectosages.
Now the most of the ocean-coast of the Aquitani is sandy and thin-soiled, thus growing millet, but it is rather unproductive in respect of the other products.

 Gaul
The Belgae dwelt in the north, with the Sequana (Seine) and Matrona (Marne) rivers as their southern boundary; the Aquitani lived in the south, between the Garumna (Garonne) River and the Pyrenees; and the Celtae inhabited the region between the Belgae and the Aquitani.
His account is fundamentally correct, although he did not mention all the tribes of Gaul; nor did he recognize that the Aquitani were ethnically distinct from the Belgae and Celtae, between whom many affinities existed, notably that of language.
The Aquitani, in contrast, were dark, reserved, and fond of fighting in small bands.

 Belgae
The Belgae were a group of nations or tribes living in north-eastern Gaul, on the west bank of the Rhine, in the 1st century BC, and later also attested in Britain.
He noted that the Belgae, being furthest from the developed civilisation of Rome and closest to the Germans, were the bravest of the three.
After their final subjugation, Caesar combined the three parts of Gaul, the territory of the Belgae, Celtae and Aquitani, into a single unwieldy province (Gallia Comata, "long-haired Gaul") that was reorganized by Augustus Caesar into its traditional cultural divisions.

 Virtual Rome | North | Viennensis | Aquitania
The territory of the Aquitani, estending from the river Garonne to the Pyrenees in southwestern France.
The Aquitani differed from other Gauls in language, customs and appearance, preserving various primitive elements resembling features of Iberian culture, or peculiar to themselves.
When Octavian (subsequently Augustus) completed the subjugation of the area in 38 and 27 BC, he created a new province of Aquitania- with its capital at Burdigala- which extended northward to include the Celtic tribes up to the river Liger (Loire).

 House Shadow Drake - Brigit - Part 3
These cultures are referred to as the Belgae, Aquitani, and Celtae, respectively.
Bernard, the Bishop of Killaloe, believed in the possibility that the Belgae and the Danmonii later developed into what was known in the Celtic legends as the Firbolg and the Tuatha de Danann.
It is theorized that the Aquitani brought with them the religious ideologies of the Egyptians which would later be integrated with the Celtic beliefs.

 At the Edge archive: Celtic fallacy
In describing Gaul he observes that it was divided between three groups - one part was occupied by the Belgae, another by the Aquitani and the third part by the Celts.
Their territory was what is now central France, separated from the Aquitani by the River Garonne and from the Belgae by the Seine-Marne.
The Aquitani, on the other hand, may not even have been strictly Celtic-speaking at all, but rather speakers of an Italo-Celtic language closer to that of the Celts than of the Latins, as seems to be true of Pictish.

 Novempopulania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Novempopulania (Latin for "country of the nine peoples")was one of the provinces created by Diocletian out of Gallia Aquitania, being also called Aquitania Tertia.
The area of Novempopulania was historically the first one to receive the name of Aquitania, as it was here where the original Aquitani dwelt primarily.
Yet with the creation of a larger province with that name by Augustus Aquitaine began to signify a larger and more diverse territory.

It is not emphatic in Latin, as is seen from the fact that it cannot be made emphatic in English.
The sense is: The Gauls lie between the Aquitani on the one side, and the Belgians on the other.

Furthest north were the Belgae, north and west of the Marne and Seine rivers.
Next mentioned were the Aquitani, living between the Garonne river and the Pyrenees Mountains.
A further tripartite regional subdivision, however, can also be made within Caesar's large central area of the Celtae, into Armorican Gaul, eastern Gaul, and central Gaul.

 Basque
In Caesar's time the three tribes of Gaul were known as the Belgae, the Aquitani and the Celtae, each with their own language.
Unlike many surrounding languages, the language of the Aquitani was not Indo-European but is thought to have been similar to that of the neighbouring Vascones.
This latter people lived on both slopes of the western Pyrenees, and their name has given us the word for the most extraordinary language in modern Europe — Basque.

 Re: Neglected History - Part 2
The inhabitants of Europe were known in Roman times as Gauls (Latin:Galli).
They were divided into three or more large groups, made up of many smaller tribes: the Belgae, Aquitani and Galli (or in their language Celtea, from the greek Keltoi).
They were of at least three or more different ethnic backgrounds and we know from the writings of Gaius Julius Caesar that some were tall and fair skinned and others dark and short (the Aquitani).
