	Parisii (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Parisii (or Quarisii) were a Celtic Iron Age people that lived on the banks of the river Seine (in Latin, Sequana) in Gaul from the middle of the third century B.C. until the Roman era.
		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.
		Barry Cunliffe states that the Arras Culture, which is associated with the Parisii demonstrates economic and social continuity from the 5th century BC onwards however and the view that the East Yorkshire Parisii were a colony of the Gaulish Parisii is may be a simplistic one.

		The Parisii (or Quarisii) were a Celtic people that lived on the banks of the river Seine (in Latin, Sequana) in Gaul from the middle of the third century B.C. until the Roman era.
		With the Suessiones, the Parisii participated in the general rising of Vercingetorix against Julius Caesar in 52 B.C. In a battle near the Champ de Mars (the present site of the Eiffel Tower), the Celtic army was soundly beaten and Vercingetorix captured; thereafter the Parisii specifically and Gaul generally were firmly under Roman rule.
		It is not known if the Parisii tribe of East Yorkshire and Humberside in Britain was comprised of emigrants from the tribe of the same name based in Gaul.

	PARISI
		The Parisii were a people of Celtic Gaul, who lived along the banks of the Sequana (Seine), and on an island in the river known as Lutetia; the island is nowadays famous as the site of the Notre Dame Cathedral in the centre of Paris, the capital city of modern France.
		The continental Parisii were not to take Caesar's bullying for long however, for they joined forces with their near neighbours the Suessiones and declared themselves against him in the general rising of Vercingatorix in 52BC.
		Hearing of the Roman's imminent approach off refugees from the recently sacked town, the citizens of Lutetia were compelled to abandon their city and set it afire before withdrawing into the nearby marshes.

		The Romano-British Parisii tribe of East Yorkshire and Humberside in Britain was in any case comprised of emigrants from the tribe of the same name based in Gaul.
		Burials involving placing the deceased in a wheeled vehicle beneath square barrows are found in both the Marne region of France and in the British Parisii homeland too.

		The Parisii were a Celtic clan that lived in the area now occupied by Paris, until overrun by forces of the Roman Empire.
		The Parisii that could fled to an isolated strip in what is now England and from there went to what is now Ireland.
		Since Parisii was an odd name and since it was a custom of the time for a last name to be simply "of [placename]", and since some wanted to blend in, etc, the name Parisii began to change.

	Strat's Place - Daniel Rogov - The Olden Days in Paris
		The original Paris, an island on a bend in the Seine River, with a plateau on one side and a swamp (today the neighborhood called the Marais) on the other, was hardly a desirable place to live.
		In 100 B.C., when the curly-headed Parisii, a tribe of Celtic fisherman and navigators, began to settle on the tiny little Ile-de-la-Cite, the island was plagued by typhus, poliomyelitis and a host of other diseases that guaranteed that less than 40% of the population would live to the age of thirty.
		The island of the Parisii only became a safe place in which to live after the Romans invaded and conquered the city in the third century.

	Luco: the history of the Luxembourg garden (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Before the Parisii, a different Gaulish tribe, arrived around 300 BC, and settled on the current ile de la Cité, Leucotitus was a strategic vantage point overlooking the Seine from a safe distance.
		The Parisii were the first to fortify the present ile de la Cité with pole housing, palisades and wooden bridges which they burned once the Roman legions came to conquer in 52 BC.
		The Parisii’s resistance, however, broke down when their chief Camulogène was slain by the troops of Labiénus, who drew the Gaulish warriors into a merciless battle that most likely took place on the Luxembourg plane at sunset.

	thorninpaw: The relocation of Paris
		Indeed, it appears that the site at Nanterre is the only important urban center to be found in what was the territory of the Parisii -- the Celtic people who gave their name to Paris.
		Today, the island bears a marker identifying it as kilometer zero, from which all distances in France are measured, making it the mental (though certainly not the geographical) center of the country.
		This idea is undeniably appealing, and indeed the ancient Parisii are still quite present in French collective memory.

	Gallic Tribes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		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.
		The Parisii are a strategically important tribe, as they control the gateway between northern and southern Gaul.
		Lutetia reportedly has never been taken by assault in the endemic inter-tribal warfare of Gaul and for that reason the Parisii are not to be discounted in the power struggle of the tribes.

		Class V staters were struck in connection with Caesar’s invasion of Gaul in 59 BC, and the celebrated hoard of 53 staters found at Puteaux in 1950, situated in the banlieu of Paris, confirms their attribution to the Parisii.
		(NEW PARAGRAPH) According to Caesar's De Bello Gallico (VI 3), the capital of the Parisii was the village of Lutetia on the marshy island in the Seine.

		Just as a sample: At the County Museum’s Monday Evening Concert, the Parisii Quartet (from Paris, need I add) played music by the late Italian mystic and composer Giacinto Scelsi that centered entirely around the overtones generated by a single note.
		To hear the Parisii (whose previous appearance here I somehow missed), I had to forgo Peter Serkin’s Music Center piano recital, which also included some alluring new works.
		The Parisii, who belong to that rarefied fellowship of take-no-prisoners new-music evangelists whose ranks also list the Kronos and Arditti, began with Alfred Schnittke’s Third Quartet, which locks its players into intricate argumentation about the past of music and its ongoing relevance.

	Cronaca: Paris not the capital of the Parisii? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Was the present-day city of Nanterre (Hauts-de-Seine) the “capital” of the Parisii, Celtic ancestors of the people of the Ile de France, and not Lutèce [Roman Lutetia, the ancient name of Paris], as historic tradition has it?
		The hypothesis has been raised after the discovery, starting in 2003, of a vast Gallic settlement dating to the 2nd century BC in the northwest of the city, next to the Seine.
		For Antide Viand, the recent excavations appear to point to Nanterre as the main center of the Parisii.

		The Celts made numerous models, or icons, of their various gods, and there are over 60 depicting Cernunnos, from all over Europe.
		We only know his name because it is carved on a single one of these, made by sailors from the Gallic Parisii tribe (from whom Paris got its name) in the first century AD, by which time Gaul (modern France) had become a Roman province.
		We do not know how widespread the use of this exact name was: it is possible that this was the name for this antlered god to no-one but the Parisii themselves, but the structure of the name suggests otherwise.

		Milhaud's cycle of 18 string quartets has largely been ignored by both performers and record companies, which is one reason this excellent survey deserves your attention.

		The young Quatuor Parisii's silken tone captures the music's effervescence without sacrificing virility.
