Nitiobroges


The Nitiobroges were a Gaulish tribe, dwelling around their capital Aginnum on the middle Garonne river, where they settled during the 4th century BCE.

Name

They are mentioned as Nitiobroges by Caesar and Pliny, as Nitióbriges by Ptolemy, and as Nisiobroges by Sidonius Apollinaris.
The name Nitiobroges means 'those who have their own country/territory, indigenous'. It stems from the Gaulish suffix nitio-, attached to brogi.
The name is attested on inscriptions written on a torc with the Greek alphabet, found in Mailly-le-Camp and dated to the mid-1st century BCE.
