	The Internet Classics Archive \| The Gallic Wars by Julius Caesar
		For if he should summon the legions into the province, he was aware that on their march they would have to fight in his absence; he foresaw too that if he himself should endeavor to reach the army, he would act injudiciously, in trusting his safety even to those who seemed to be tranquilized.
		Around him all the Arverni crowd in alarm, and solemnly entreat him to protect their property, and not to suffer them to be plundered by the enemy, especially as he saw that all the war was transferred into their country.
		It was resolved that Litavicus should have the command of the ten thousand, which were being sent to Caesar for the war, and should have charge of them on their march, and that his brothers should go before him to Caesar.

		One of the most famous princes in the history of Gaul belonged to the Arverni tribe - Vercingetorix.

		He sprung from the noblest family among the Arverni, and possessing great influence, says, "I shall pay no attention to the opinion of those who call a most disgraceful surrender by the name of a capitulation; nor do I think that they ought to be considered as citizens, or summoned to the council.
		Reserving the Aedui and Arverni, [to try] if he could gain over, through their influence, their respective states, he distributes one of the remaining captives to each soldier, throughout the entire army, as plunder.

		With the Arverni being the closest of the tribes to the Central Gauls (and thus in the greatest danger or invasion), this seemed doubly wise.
		The Arverni Chief, Genetix (my father's half-wit grandnephew who was placed in his current position by my Dearly Departed Brother) came to me with a formal grievance that he be allowed to lead the forces currently stationed in the Arverni lands on an invasion against the Coaltition "before there are no enemies left to fight".
		Logistix sent word that the two Arverni Warbands and the Cadurci archers had all arrived safely and were beginning their training, a second unit of Cadurci archers merely awaited the necessary supplies to begin training as well.

		All the neighboring tribes joined in the league against the common enemy, and tidings were brought to Caesar that the whole country round the Loire was in a state of revolt.
		Hope was gone, but the chief of the Arverni could yet do one thing for his countrymen--he could offer up himself in order to obtain better terms for them.
		It was a piteous necessity to have to sacrifice their noblest and bravest, who had led them so gallantly during the long war; but they had little choice, and could only send messengers to the camp to offer to yield Vercingetorix as the price of their safety.

		Centred on their capital city of Bibracte, the Aedui are under constant threat from their neighbours, the Arverni, the Sequani and the Allobroges have long welcomed Roman intervention in south-east Gaul.
		Known for its iron and silver resources, the Arverni are also quite rich and one of the militarily strong tribes of Southern Long-Haired Gaul.
		Certainly their capital city Avaricum is the largest "oppidum" or fortified settlement in Gaul, the Bituriges proudly calling Avaricum, the "Queen of Cities." Frequently at war with the Pictones and the Arverni, over territory, the Bituriges are seperated from the Carnutes by the wide Liger River, which has limited their clashes.

		Three of the most prominent tribes in central Gaul were the Sequani, the Arverni and the Aedui.
		As early as 125 BC, due to their strategic links with other Celtic tribes, the Aedui were given the prestigious title of "brothers of Rome" by the Roman senate.
		Aedui alliances with the Bituriges, the Helvetii (Swiss Celts who migrated eastward in 58 BC until stopped by Caesar), and the Boïens (allies of the Helvetii), were supported by Rome to counterbalance the Arverni, a powerful tribe southwest of the Aedui.

		The Arverni, with their heathenous god-king, wish to incorporate all of Gaul under his rule.
		The Aedui and Arverni were capable expansionists with comparatively large dominions in contrast to many of their contemporaries, were heavily affected by (and heavily affected) mediterranean cultures, and were in great contestation to one another, both feeling they possessed rightful rule of all of Gaul.
		Culturally the Gauls, both the Aedui and Arverni, were fond of poetry, metalwork, linens, stonework, music, sports, philosophy, and warfare.

	A History of Oppida
		Impact of consequent trade with Italy: war to control subsequent trade networks; slaves (free dependants) taken, elites appropriated land of captured, causing increased centralisation (alliance of successful elites) and defence.
		The Auvergne: it is telling that the Arverni and their site at Aulnat had decentralized settlement and reduced defence in comparison to other oppida – they were very powerful politically.
		Probably linked to the slave trade with Italy, the Arverni were very heavily involved – they needed to obtain slaves in return for wine (amphorae), so likely this was achieved through warfare, raiding and capture (of elite dependants for slavery)

		Because of this incident, the Aedui tribe were allies of Caesar and when the Aedui felt threatened by the Arverni, they began to trade grain for Romans soldiers to build up their armies.
		This is supposedly against the Gallic beliefs and it punishable by death, however when he was found murdered, evidence pointed that Roman weapons had been used when, if he was due for death, the druids would have done it.
		The result was that on an appointed day, the Carnutes, lead by Cotuatus and Conconnetodumnus, entered Cenabum and killed all the roman citizens who had settled there and plundered their property.

	Arverni or Aedui anyone? - The Guild (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		I took all three of the Arverni Transalpine holdings but lost my one Cisalpine holding to them, then I went about uniting the rest of Gaul and beefing my army up.
		By the time I had most of TransAplpine Gaul united, I had one big experienced stack, and the Arverni had been building up their forces, I attacked immediately before they could become a threat, crushed them, and eradicated their faction.
		Samnites are damnedly expensive, and it became a little weird to be playing the Arverni without a single Arverni unit in my army.

	Gergovia
		Julius Caesar and his Gallic Legions versus the Arverni and other tribes of Gaul, under Vercingetorix.
		The Battle of Gergovia was Caesar's failed attempt to wipe out the threat of a large Gallic uprising by isolating and defeating a gathering of the Arverni, plus several other Gallic contingents, under their new chieftain, Vercingetorix.
		The Arverni had taken a defensive position in the hill fortress oppidum of Gergovia, a position somewhat similar to (but much smaller than) that that they would take at Alesia but, given the surrounding terrain, a bit more difficult to take.

		Again the victorious Cimbri turned away from Italy, and, after attempting to reduce the Arverni, moved into Spain, where they failed to overcome the desperate resistance of the Celtiberian tribes.
		In 103 they marched back through Gaul, which they overran as far as the Seine, where the Belgae made a stout resistance.
