  Carnutes
The territory of the Carnutes had the reputation among Roman observers of being the political and religious center of the Gallic nations.
In the 1st century BCE, the Carnutes minted coins, usually struck with dies, but sometimes cast in an alloy of high tin content called "potin." Their coinage turns up in hoards well outside their home territories, in some cases so widely distributed in the finds that the place of coinage is not secure.
After they had been pacified, though not Romanized, under Augustus, the Carnutes, as one of the peoples of Gallia Lugdunensis, were raised to the rank of civitas soda or foederati, retaining their own self-governing institutions, continuing to mint coins, and only bound to render military service to the emperor.

Caius Fabius set off with the rest of the army to the Carnutes and those other states, whose force he was informed, had served as auxiliaries in that battle, which he fought against Dumnacus.
For he had no doubt that they would be more submissive after their recent sufferings, but if respite and time were given them, they might be easily excited by the earnest solicitations of the same Dumnacus.
Two he placed among the Turoni, near the confines of the Carnutes, to keep in awe the entire tract of country bordering on the ocean; the other two he placed in the territories of the Lemovices, at a small distance from the Arverni, that no part of Gaul might be without an army.

The Carnutes had expected the siege to last longer than it had and were suprised to see Caesar camped outside of the town.
The Carnutes decided to escape over the bridge at the back but Caesar predicted they would try that and sent troops to guard the bridge during the night.
When Julius heard of the escape, he set fire to the gates of the Oppidum and entered because the bridge and roads were so narrow, that few inhabitants escaped.

 Bienvenue sur le site du musée d'Argentomagus
In 52 BC, following the massacre of Roman citizens living in Cenabum (Orléans) by the Carnutes, the Arvernian Vercingetorix won several of the Gaulish tribes to his revolutionary cause and marched in person to the lands of the Biturige.
However, Caesar mounted a surprise campaign at the head of the 13th legion and reinforced by the 11th legion which had been stationed nearby, and forced the Biturige into suing for peace.
Benefitting from the clemency of Caesar, the Biturige submitted to Roman domination and, when the Carnutes attacked from the north, were quick to call on the Roman army for assistance.

Many of their actions they justified through religion, as law and religion were closely tied in Celtic society; they were flagrantly disregarding the law, and needed to ensure their people they were not doing anything evil.
The Aedui had controlled substantially more of Gaul at one time, but attacks from the Belgae (beaten back by the Carnutes), and some poor performance against the Arverni, and losses to the Germans, had led to a lack of confidence in the Aedui.
Cernunnos, the god of the Carnutes, and subsequently the druids, was a powerful deity in northern Gaul, and the Arverni feared their populace would be swayed by worship of Cernunnos; eliminating his worship in their territories guaranteed indepedence from the authority of the northern druids.
