Likatier
The Likatier (Latin Licates ) were a Celtic tribe in the Allgäu , who were probably settled on the bank and near the river Lech and belonged to the Celtic tribal group of the Vindeliker .
In a Roman military diploma, four tribal names are mentioned as gentes of the Vindeliker: Cosuanetes , Rucinates , Licates and Catenates . In Strabo and Ptolemy the Licates (old Greek Λικάτ [τ] ιοι are LIKAT [t] ioi ) also mentioned. Pliny the Elder mentions the same four tribal names:
- Vindelicorum gentes quatuor, Consuanetes, Rucinates [ Virucinates, according to another reading], Licates, Catenates.
