  Bituriges - LoveToKnow 1911
The name is supposed to mean either "rulers of the world" or "perpetual kings." The Bituriges Cubi, called simply Bituriges by Caesar, in whose time they acknowledged the supremacy of the Aedui, inhabited the modern diocese of Bourges, including the departments of Cher and Indre, and partly that of Allier.
The district contained a number of iron works, and Caesar says they were skilled in driving galleries and mining operations.
The Bituriges Vivisci occupied the strip of land between the sea and the left bank of the Garonne, comprising the greater part of the modern department of Gironde.
