Historical background
GALLIA - ARMORICA - OSISMII (Area of Carhaix - Finistère)
(2nd - 1st centuries BC)
The Osismes were an Armorican people, settled in the current department of Finistère, at the northwestern end of Gaul and the Armorican coasts. They had as chief town Vorgium, today Carhaix. Their neighbors were the Veneti and the Coriosolites. Their name would mean "the furthest away" or "the people at the end of the world". They were subjugated by Caesar's army in 57 along with the other Armorican peoples. But from 56, they joined the coalition led by the Venetians. They will participate in the contingent of twenty-five thousand men provided in 52 BC to the army of the Gallic coalition by the Armorican peoples. Caesar (BG. II, 34, III, 9, VII, 75, 1). Pliny (HN IV, 107). Ptolemy (II, 8). Kruta, page 766.
