  Tungri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tungri were a tribe of ancient Gaul who occupied the lands of the northern Arduenna Silva (Forest of Ardennes), along the lower valley of the Mosa (Meuse River).
The Tungri tribe was mentioned in the Notitia Dignitatum, an early 5th century document, in which was transcribed every military and governmental post in the late Roman Empire.
The document mentions the Tribune of the First Cohort of Tungri stationed along Hadrian's Wall at Vercovicium (now known as Housesteads, Northumberland), who had been mentioned on four military diplomata dating to the beginning of the 2nd century, as well as on altars and insdcriptions, even on one of the Vindolanda writing tablets.

 FOURTH BOOK OF LOST SWORDS: FARSLAYER'S STORY
So that log had lain since it was felled decades ago by a great storm, and so it would probably lie, the splintered remnants of its upper branches sticking out over the gorge of the Tungri itself, until another windstorm came strong enough to send it crashing the rest of the way down.
Meanwhile the western fork came down eventually to a village on the shore of Lake Abzu, where the Tungri calmed itself after the turmoil of the gorge.
The reality of the trails was much more complex than their simple goals would indicate, for in conformity with the rugged mountainside they all wound back and forth, up small slopes and down, around many boulders and the occasional tree or grove.

The Ger­mans demanded the destruction of Colonia Agrip-pinensis, but it was at length spared, chiefly through the gratitude of Civilis, whose son had been kept in safety there since the beginning of the war.
He was opposed by his old enemy claudius labeo, at the head of an irregular force of Betasii, Tungri, and Nervii; and, by a daring act of courage, he not only decided the victory, but gained the alliance of the Tungri and the other tribes.
The attempt, however, to unite all Gaul in the revolt completely failed, the Treviri and the Lingones being the only people who joined the insurgents.

 Paradox Interactive Forums - The Incredible History of the MachTungri
The year was 1497 A.D. and the Tungri did not seem apt for drastic change: Few fishermen ever ventured very far from the coasts, hunters never spent very much time away, and the Tungri Tosic (a very distant fragment of the Roman Catholic Church) preached repeatedly on tradition and the dangers of the outside world.
The town of Greun was situated 14 kilometres South of the Tungri capital: Tungrum.
It would describe us as we are: Tungri are the light in a world of darkness, and maybe somewhere else there are other civilisations like ours — the gold stars — whom we shall discover soon!” Willem scratched his chin as Janus continued, unable to stop himself.

These columns have been found in the Rhineland, among the Treveri of the Moselle, in the country of the Tungri and among the Nervians.
Usually, their square base is decorated with reliefs of the gods, and on their top is a statue of Jupiter, sitting on a horse, fighting against a monster.
It is very likely that the Treveri, Tungri, Nervians and the inhabitants of the Rhineland have equaled these two deities, and told each other stories about Jupiter that once had dealt with Wodan/Odin.

 The History of Tongeren. Tourist information about the city of Tongeren in Belgium.
Atuatuca Tungrorum, the ancient name of tongeren, was in Roman days the administrative capital of the district (civitas) Tungri.
These Tungri were at the time of Emperor August (27 B.C. - 14 A.D.) a governmental federation of a few autochtonian tribes who decennia before offered resistance to the invading Roman army of Julius Caesar.
One of these tribes, namely the Eburons, under the command of their King Ambiorix, won a victory against the Roman Legion in 54 B.C. That battle took place near Atuatuca, a yet unknown area in the Eburone country, where Romans had their winter quarters.

This was because officially the city would have nothing to do with such moves, although a few Ubii and Tungri were present at the conference.
Yet a third threat confronted Civilis—the possibility that the Fourteenth Legion with the assistance of the British fleet might raid the Batavian homeland in so far as it was exposed to attack from the North Sea.
As for the fleet, the Cannenefates took the initiative and themselves launched an attack upon it which resulted in the sinking or capture of the majority of the ships.

In the Rhine delta and to the south and west of the Rhine, the Romans set up the same administrative organizations as those found in other parts of Gaul.
The Low Countries formed part of the provinces of Belgica and Germania Inferior (later Belgica Secunda and Germania Secunda), which themselves were subdivided into civitates: in Belgica, those of the Morini, Menapii, Treveri, Tungri, and possibly the Toxandri; in Germania Inferior, those of the Batavi, Canninefates, and Cugerni.
Because of the later adoption by the church of the division into civitates, a number of centres of the civitates have become the seats of bishoprics; among these are Thérouanne, Tournai, Tongeren (Tongres), and Trier (Trèves).

 Tongeren - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tongeren (French: Tongres, German: Tongern) is a municipality located in the province of Limburg, Flemish region, Belgium.
Known as Atuatuca Tungrorum to the Romans, it was the administrative centre of the district Tungri under their rule.
This victory was understandably short lived and the entire Eburones tribe decimated, while the Tungri, more friendly to the Romans, took their place.
