Soti (tribe)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ligurian tribe
The Soti were an ancient Ligurian tribe.
They are mentioned as Soti by Pliny (1st c. AD).[1]
F. Rubat Borel has proposed to emend Soti to Sotani (based on a confusion of -an- with -iu- by copyists), and identify them with the Stoeni, a tribe from Lake Como.[2]
The name may also be compared with the vinum Sotanum, cultivated in the territory of Vienna (modern Vienne), the capital of the Allobroges.[2]
Geography
They are listed among the "Ligurians beyond the Alps" (Ligurum celeberrimi ultra Alpes) by Pliny.[2]
