Cincibilus
Cincibilus , King of Regnum Noricum , presented 170 BC. BC through a "hospitium publicum" a good understanding between the kingdom and the Roman Empire . Titus Livius reports that through his brother as head of an embassy before the Roman Senate , Cincibilus brought a complaint against previous consul Gaius Cassius Longinus that he had devastated the fields of Alpine tribes who were friends with Rome and carried thousands away as slaves. The Senate then sent two envoys and gifts to Noricum, which is a sign of the importance of Cincibilus for Rome.
With the course of the early Roman imperial road Via Julia Augusta , it led over the Plöckenpass to Noricum, the entrance gate into the Eastern Alps and the path of the ambassadors can be recognized. The prehistoric junction in the Drautal gave Irschen the ideal prehistoric settlement and Celtic prince seat. It is believed that it was the ancestral home of the Ambidravi and Cincibilus could have been their king.
