Eburoviken
The Eburoviken ( Latin Eburovices ) were a Celtic - Gallic tribe from the area of the lower Seine and Loire . As part of the tribe, they belonged to the larger Aulerci network . The Eburoviken are first mentioned in writing by the Roman general Gaius Iulius Caesar in his report De Bello Gallico on his wars in Gaul . In 56 BC they had Killed her Senate because it was against the war . They joined the Veneller revolt .
The Eburoviken settled south of the Seine. The area of their civitas now forms the main part of the Eure department . Its capital was Mediolanum Aulercorum, today's Évreux , where archaeological evidence of a theater and a city wall for the Roman imperial period has been found. Neighboring tribes to the Eburoviken were the Veliocasses , who lived north of the Seine, the Lexovians in the northwest and the Carnutes , who settled south of the Avre .
