 Science Fair Projects - Oppidum
Julius Caesar described the larger Iron Age settlements he encountered in Gaul as oppida and the term is now used to describe the large pre-Roman towns that existed all across Western and Central Europe.
The development of oppida was a milestone in the urbanisation of the continent as they were the first large settlements north of the Mediterranean that could genuinely be described as towns.
Caesar pointed out that each tribe of Gaul would have several oppida but that they were not all of equal importance, perhaps implying some form of hierarchy.

Settled mainly by the Gauls and related Celtic peoples (apart from a shrinking area of Basque population in the south-west), the area of modern France comprised the bulk of the region of Gaul (Latin Gallia) under Roman rule from the 1st century BC to the 5th century AD.
In 486, Clovis I, leader of the Salian Franks to the east, conquered the Roman territory between the Loire and the Somme, subsequently uniting most of northern and central France under his rule and adopting (496) the Roman Catholic form of Christianity in preference to the Arianism preferred by rival Germanic rulers.
Seven years later, in an occasion marking the first time in the 20th century that the people of France went to the polls to elect a president by direct ballot, de Gaulle won re-election with a 55% share of the vote, defeating Francois Mitterrand.

 HISTORY OF BRITAIN, 407-597, by Fabio Barbieri
In the typical manner of his time, Nennius (or his sources) describe the peoples in question in terms of their earliest ancestors; but, given that, chapters 10-16 must be regarded as a systematic ethnography of Britain, touching on the name and origin of each of its component nations.
The origin of his people, and of the West to which he felt he belonged, is what he was trying to establish.
The list of peoples is attached, not to the children of Alan(e)us, but to those of Noah, and, so far as it overlaps that of ch.17, it contradicts it: for instance, the Itali are made children of Tubal, while ch.17 had Romanus as the son of Hessition.

Their chief city (oppidum) was Lutetia Parisiorum, which later became an important city in the Roman province of Gallia Lugdunensis and ultimately the modern city of Paris.
With the Suessiones, the Parisii participated in the general rising of Vercingetorix against Julius Caesar in 52 B.C. Following their defeat some may at this time have fled to Britain although it is more likely that Parisii had already colonised part of the island before this time and preceding the waves of Belgic immigration.
The Romano-British Parisii tribe of East Yorkshire and Humberside in Britain is traditionally seen as being comprised of emigrants from the tribe of the same name based in Gaul.
