	Armorica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Armorica or Aremorica is the name given in ancient times to the part of Gaul that includes the Brittany peninsula and the territory between the Seine and Loire rivers, extending inland to an indeterminate point and down the Atlantic coast.
		Under the Roman Empire, Armorica was administered as part of the province of Gallia Lugdunensis, which had its capital in Lyons.
		With western Armorica already evolved into Brittany, when Vikings or Northmen settled in the Cotentin peninsula and the lower Seine around Rouen in the 9th and early 10th centuries, and these regions came to be known as Normandy, the name Armorica fell out of use.
