  CENOMANI - Online Information article about CENOMANI   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
CENOMANI, a branch of the Aulerci in Gallia Celtica, whose territory corresponded generally to Maine in the modern department of Sarthe.
The Cenomani nearly always appear in history as loyal friends and allies of the Romans, whom they assisted in the Gallic war (225 B.c.), when the Boii and Insubres took up arms against Rome, and during the war against Hannibal.
According to Arbois de Jubainville, the Cenomani of Italy are not identical with the Cenomani (or Cenomanni) of Gaul.

The Cenomani nearly always appear in history as loyal friends and allies of the Romans, whom they assisted in the Gallic war (225 B.c.), when the Boil and Insubres took up arms against Rome, and during the war against Hannibal.
The orthography and the quantity of the penultimate vowel of Cenomani have given rise to discussion.
In Italy, Cenomani is the name of a people; in Gaul, merely a surname of the Aulerci.

From Livy, it seems the Cenomani were deployed on the extreme right of the main infantry line.
Polybios says the Roman infantry were marshalled in the regular Roman order, which could mean the traditional Roman legions in the centre, allied troops on the wing, but could also merely mean the lines of velites, hastati, principes and triarii or merely the chequerboard appearance.
The Roman army was said to be 16,000 Roman citizen infantry, 20,000 Allied infantry and 4,000 cavalry by Polybios.

 Matt Peckham: 11.2004
As the Romans under Sempronius' sole command (since Scipio was wounded) crossed the freezing Trebia (then at full height and possibly breast-high due to rains that had fallen the night before) Hannibal led his well-fed forces - their skins oiled against the cold - to the battlefield.
Livy suggests the Cenomani were established on the far right of the main infantry line, and Polybius is unclear whether the Allied Legions were deployed with the Roman Legions as one force, or on the wings as would have traditionally been the case.
Cavalry and Cenomani forces were deployed to the far right and left of the infantry.

The brunt of the fighting was to be reserved for the Gaesatai, with the Cenomani and Boii protecting the flanks and supporting the attacks.
Tiberius meanwhile, became aware of the size of the Gallic host assembling before him and it was obvious that he now faced a larger army than he was able to field.

 Armorica. Who is Armorica? What is Armorica? Where is Armorica? Definition of Armorica. Meaning of Armorica.
Pliny the Elder, in his Natural History (2.17.105), claims that Armorica was the older name for Aquitaine, stating Armorica's southern boundary extended to the Pyrenees.
Pliny lists the following Celtic tribes as living in the Brittany peninsula: the Aedui and Carnuteni as having treaties with Rome; the Neldi and Secusiani as having some measure of independence; and the Boii, Senones, Aulerci (both the Eburovices and Cenomani), the Parisii, Tricases, Andicavi, Viducasses, Bodiocasses, Venelli, Coriosvelites, Diablinti, Rhedones, Turones, and the Atseui.
Because continued resistance to Roman rule in Armorica was supported by Celtic aristocrats in Britain, Julius Caesar led two invasions of Britain in 55 and 54 BC in response.

The Celts, being close neighbours of the Etruscans and associating much with them, cast covetous eyes on their beautiful country, and on a small pretext, suddenly attacked them with a large army and, expelling them from the plain of the Po, occupied it themselves.
The Insubres and Boii held stoutly to their original purpose; but the Veneti and Cenomani, on the Romans sending an embassy to them, decided to give them their support; so that the Celtic chiefs were obliged to leave part of their forces behind to protect their territory from invasion by these tribes.
After a circuitous march of some days, they crossed the river Clusius and reached the country of the Cenomani, who were their allies, and accompanied by them, again invaded from the district at the foot of the Alps the plains of the Insubres and began to lay the country waste and pillage their dwellings.

I Galli Cenomani o Cenomanes, sono una popolazione di ceppo celtico, facente parte del più ampio gruppo dei Aulerci, originaria della zona di Le Mans, successivamente emigrati in massa verso l' Italia (la loro area di provenienza rimase infatti per molto tempo spopolata dopo la loro partenza).
Nel IV secolo AC guidati da Elitovio si insediarono nella attuale bassa Lombardia orientale e nel basso Veneto occidentale, il loro territorio andava dal fiume Oglio alle rive occidentali dell' Adige, e la loro influenza si estese anche alla regione alpina, imponendosi agli altri popoli retici e celti.
Nel frattempo ai Cenomani era stata concessa la totale autonomia amministrativa e fiscale, la cittadinanza romana e l'iscrizione nella tribù dei Fabii nel 49 AC.

Si riconosce ai Cenomani il merito di aver dato notevole sviluppo all’agricoltura e specialmente all’allevamento del bestiame; pare anzi che ad essi sia dovuta l’introduzione e la diffusione dei bovini dì razza bigia.
Quest’ultimi, sembra abbiano lasciato traccia della loro presenza, nella costruzione dell’intelaiatura delle travi che compongono i tetti dei fienili con copertura in paglia di frumento, ancor oggi sono visibili nella ricostruzione originaria sull’altipiano di Cima Rest.

The Camuni in particular needed the port to import provisions like wheat, which was possible only via the plain and the lake as there was no coast road at the time.
In the Thirties tourists started coming to Iseo to enjoy its lakeside walk completed in 1937.

Sempronius chased the Numidians across the river with his 4 legions of Romans and other Italians in standard 3-line formation with 4,000 cavalry on the flanks and 3,000 Cenomani (the Cenomani was a Gallic tribe) on the right flank.
The battle was eventually joined when the Roman velites (skirmish infantry) engaged the Carthaginian light troops in battle, the velites had already used up most of their javelins beforehand and didn’t last very long before they were forced to fall back, the Carthaginian light infantry fell back at about the same time.
