Oxybii
The Oxybii or Oxubii (Ancient Greek: ) were a Celto-Ligurian tribe dwelling on the Mediterranean coast during the Iron Age and the Roman period. Name They are mentioned as ''Oxubíōn'' (Ὀξυβίων) by Polybius (2nd c. BC) and Strabo (early 1st c. AD), and as ''Oxubi'' by Pliny (1st c. AD). Patrizia de Bernardo Stempel has proposed to interpret the ethnic name ''Oxubii'' as 'the inhabitants of a high place' or else as 'the ox-slayers', from the Celtic stem ''oxso''- ('ox') or ''uxso''- ('high'). According to her, such linguistically Celtic tribal names suggest that a Celto-Ligurian dialect played an important role among the languages spoken in ancient Ligury. Geography The Oxybii dwelled on the Mediterranean coast. Their territory was located east of the Suelteri and Verucini, and either east of the Deciates (near the Vediantii) or west of them (near the river Argens in the Massif de l'Esterel)., Map 16: Col.

Deciates
The Deciates (Δεκιήταις) were a Ligurian tribe dwelling near on the Mediterranean coast, around present-day Antibes, during the Iron Age and the Roman era. According to historian Guy Barruol, they were part of the Saluvian confederation. Name They are mentioned as ''Dekiḗtais'' (Δεκιήταις) by Polybius (2nd c. BC), and as ''Dekiatíōn'' (Δεκιατίων) by Ptolemy (2nd c. AD)., s.v. ''Deciates''. A ''regio Deciatium'' is also attested by Pliny (1st c. AD), and an ''oppidum Deciatum'' is documented by Pomponius Mela (mid-1st c. AD). The meaning of the name ''Deciates'' remains obscure. According to Javier de Hoz, an Indo-European etymology, from the root *''dek̑''-, is possible, and the suffix -''ates'' may be evidence of a Celtic transmission, "but the whole name does not seem to be Celtic. In this case I would accept a classification as 'restricted Ligurian' because of the people's geographical location." Geography The Deciates dwelled on the M ...

Salyes
The Salyes or Salluvii (Greek: ) were an ancient Celto-Ligurian people dwelling between the Durance river and the Greek colony of Massalia during the Iron Age. Although earlier writers called them 'Ligurian', Strabo used the denomination 'Celto-ligurian', and a Celtic influence is noticeable in their religion, which centred on the cult of the ''tête coupée'' ('severed head'). In fact, the Salyes were most likely at the head of a political and military confederation that united both Gallic and Ligurian tribes. During most of the early history, the Salyes were in conflict with the neighbouring Greek inhabitants of Massalia, and later on with their ally the Roman Republic, until the consul Gaius Sextius Calvinus sacked their hill-fort Entremont ca. 122 BC. Revolts against the Roman conquerors were crushed in 90 and 83 BC. Name They are mentioned as ''Sallyas'' by Caesar (mid-1st c. BC), ''Salluvii'' and ''Saluum'' (var. ''Saluium'', ''Salluuiorum'') by Livy (late 1st c. BC), ''S ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Vediantii
The Vediantii were a Celto-Ligurian tribe dwelling on the Mediterranean coast, near present-day Nice, during the Iron Age and the Roman period. Name They are mentioned as ''Ou̓ediantíōn'' (Οὐεδιαντίων) by Ptolemy (2nd c. AD), and an ''oppidum Vediantiorum civitatis'' is documented by Pliny (1st c. AD)., s.v. ''Vediantii''. The ethnonym ''Vediantii'' is probably Celtic. It has been interpreted as 'pertaining to the praying ones' (from the root ''wed''- 'to pray' extended by a present participial formation -''ie-nt''-), as the 'Leaders' (from *''wedʰ-yā'' 'guidance, leadership'), or else as the 'Sages' (from *''weid-yā'' 'knowledge, doctrine'). Geography The Vediantii dwelled on the Mediterranean coast, between the river Var and the Mont Agel, around the Massaliote colony of Nikaea (modern Nice). Their territory was located east of the Deciates and Nerusii, west of the Intimilii, and south of the Vesubiani., Map 16: Col. Forum Iulii-Albingaunum. Their chief ...

Massalia
Massalia (Greek: Μασσαλία; Latin: Massilia; modern Marseille) was an ancient Greek colony founded ca. 600 BC on the Mediterranean coast of present-day France, east of the river Rhône, by Ionian Greek settlers from Phocaea, in Western Anatolia. Marseille is the oldest city of France, and one of Europe's oldest continuously inhabited settlements. History Massalia was established ca. 600 BC by Ionian Greek settlers from Phocaea, in Western Anatolia. After the capture of Phocaea by the Persians in 545 BC, a new wave of settlers fled towards the colony. A creation myth telling the meeting between the Greeks and the local population is given by Aristotle and Pompeius Trogus (see founding myth of Marseille). After the middle of the 6th century BC, Massalia became an important trading post of the western Mediterranean area. It grew into creating colonies of its own on the sea coast of Gallia Narbonensis during the 4th and 3rd centuries BC, including Agathe (late 5th–earl ...
