Gallitae

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Gallitae were a Gallic tribe dwelling in the upper valley of the Bléone river (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence) during the Iron Age.

They are mentioned as Gallitae (var. -tre) by Pliny (1st c. AD) and on an inscription.[1][2]

The name Gallitae appears to be based on the Celtic root gal(l)-, meaning 'power, ability', which can also be found in the ethnic names Galli (Gauls) and Galátai (Galatians).[3][2]
