Grovii
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pomponius Mela stated that all the people living along the coast of Gallaecia were Celtic, with the exception of the Grovii, while Pliny wrote that they had a Greek origin. Anyhow, E.R. Luján, studying their onomastics, couldn't conclude on their non-Celtiness, since their anthroponyms and toponyms could be Celtic.[1]
Their main settlement was Tude, present day Tui, Pontevedra, by the border with Portugal along the Minho river.[2] The non-localized oppidum of Avobriga and Lambriaca were located near the Grovii lands.[3]
