Elusates


The Elusates were an Aquitani pre-Roman tribe settled in what today is southwestern France, in the northeast of the Aquitaine territory, around the city of Elusa, which is present-day Eauze, in the French department of Gers. They were subdued by Publius Crassus, legatus of Caesar in 56 BCE.

Name

They are mentioned as Elusates by Caesar and Pliny, and as Elusa on the Tabula Peutingeriana.
The city of Eauze, attested as civitas Elusa in the 4th century AD, is named after the tribe.
