Dumnorix given on coins as Dubnoreix was a chieftain of the Aedui , a List of peoples of Gaul Celtic tribe in Gaul in the 1st century B.C. He was strongly against alliance with the Romans, particularly Julius Caesar , who sparred with him on several occasions. Dumnorix, Orgetorix of the Helvetii and Casticus of the Sequani were said to be conspiring to establish a Gallic triumvirate to replace the existing magistracies of the Gallic peoples shortly before Caesar s governorship. To strengthen the alliance, Orgetorix gave Dumnorix his daughter in marriage. The conspiracy was discovered and put a stop to by the Helvetii. In 58 BC, the first year of Caesar s governorship, Dumnorix used his influence to persuade the Sequani to allow the Helvetii to migrate through their territory. Caesar opposed this migration militarily, and requested the Aedui, who were allies of Rome, to supply his soldiers with grain, but this was not forthcoming. Liscus , the chief magistrate or Vergobretus of the Aedui, revealed to Caesar that Dumnorix, who was very popular and influential, was responsible for the withholding of the supplies. Caesar also discovered that Dumnorix had been in command of a unit of cavalry, sent to his aid by the Aedui, whose flight had cost him a cavalry engagement. Dumnorix was spared any serious retribution at the request of his brother Diviciacus Aedui Diviciacus , who had good relations with Caesar and the Romans. Caesar agreed instead to place Dumnorix under surveillance. Dumnorix continued to be troublesome, and in 54 BC was one of the Gaulish leaders Caesar proposed to take with him as hostages on his second expedition to Roman conquest of Britain Britain , fearing that they might cause trouble in his absence.

Aulerci is a generic name for some of the Celt Celtic peoples of ancient Gaul , which included several Celtic tribes. Julius Caesar B. G. ii. 34 names the Aulerci with the Veneti Gaul Veneti and the other maritime states. In B. G. vii. 75, he enumerates, among the clients of the Aedui , the Brannovices Aulerci Brannovices and Brannovii, as the common text stands but the names in this chapter of Caesar are corrupt, and Brannovii does not appear to be genuine. If the name Aulerci Brannovices is genuine in vii. 75, this branch of the Aulerci, which was dependent on the Aedui, must be distinguished from those Aulerci who were situated between the Lower Seine and the Loire , and separated from the Aedui by the Senones , Carnutes , and Bituriges Cubi . Again, in vii. 75, Caesar mentions the Cenomani Aulerci Cenomani and the Aulerci Eburovices . In B. G. vii. 75 Caesar mentions the maritime states ii. 34 under the name of the Armorica Armoric states but his list does not agree with the list in ii. 34, and it does not contain the Aulerci as the Aulerci were not regarded a maritime tribe. Caesar iii. 17 mentions a tribe of Diablintes or Diablintres, to whom Ptolemy gives the generic name of Aulerci. It seems, then, that Aulerci was a general name under which several tribes were included.

In Caesar, Ariovistus had been petitioned by the Celtic Sequani for assistance in their war against the Celtic Aedui . In return, Ariovistus was promised land grants, although exactly where is not certain. In any case, gathering forces from a wide area of Germany, Ariovistus crossed the Rhine with large numbers and defeated the Aedui. The Germanic tribes, however, had their own agenda. They were interested in resettling large tracts of Celtic country, among both the Sequani and the Aedui. The Celts appealed to Caesar. Romans and Germans raced to the strategic fortified city of Vesontio Besan on , but the Romans arrived first and occupied the city. They met and routed the Germanic army in the land between the city and river, effecting a massacre as the Germans tried to escape over the river, in 58 BC.

Bellovesus was a legendary Gaul Gallic king. He lived around 600 BCE and is remembered for invading northern Italy with his people during the reign of Tarquinius Priscus , although archeology would associate Gallic expansion into Italy to around 500 BCE.

His family belonged to the tribe of Bituriges , which were at this time the most powerful Gaulic tribe and in each case placed therefore the king of all Gaul. In this time the Gaulish people were suffering from overpopulation , so that it became necessary to open new settlement areas. Bellovesus and his brother Segovesus were entrusted with this task. While Segovesus was chosen by the gods that is, by lot, got an indication to look in the Hercynian Forest for new areas to settle Bellovesus was led to upper Italy.

Convictolitavis wikt floruit fl. mid 1st century BC was a prominent member of the Celts Celtic civitas of the Haedui during the Gallic Wars . He played a significant role in the pan Gaul Gallic rebellion of 52 BC, as narrated by Julius Caesar in Book 7 of his Commentarii de Bello Gallico . In the seventh year of the war, Caesar was surprised by the scope and strength of the resistance mounted by Vercingetorix , a leader of the neighboring Arverni , who was able to rally a number of Gallic civitates and tribes in a united effort to halt the Roman conquest of Gaul. Haeduan loyalties during this time appear to have been divided the Aedui had been allies of Rome and enemies of the Arverni at least since the 120s BC, but Caesar was aware of opposing pro and anti Roman factions within the civitas from the beginning of the war. ref Caesar represents these throughout Book 1 58 BC in the persons of the Haeduan brothers Diviciacus pro and Dumnorix anti . ref This division recurs in the disputed Haeduan election for the annual office of vergobret , which Caesar describes as the chief Roman magistrate magistracy of the civitas . Two men claimed victory Convictolitavis and Cotus, whose brother had held the office the previous year. Aeduan law sought to limit the dynastic accumulation of power within a family by prohibiting a man from holding the vergobrecy if a close relative had within a specified period of time. Cotus, whatever the outcome of the vote, should have been ineligible. A Haeduan delegation called in the Roman proconsul to mediate. Caesar claims that he did not want to involve himself with an internal political matter, and he could ill afford to turn his attention from Vercingetorix, but the instability of the Haedui and an impending civil war among what had long been Rome s staunchest ally in central Gaul warranted his presence.
