Historical background


BRITTANY - BELGAE

(1st century BC - 1st century AD)

The Belgians (in Latin Belgae) correspond to the Celtic populations who occupied part of northern Gaul (Belgian Gaul). They also colonized territories on the island of Brittany (or insular Brittany). The ABC authors locate the Belgea in south-west England on the Channel coast, between the Durotriges to the west and the Regini to the east, with the Atrebates just to the north.
