Narbasi

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Narbasi ( ancient Greek : Ναρβασοί) were a tribe in Iberia . They settled according to Ptolemy (~ 100–175 AD) between the rivers Miño (ancient name: Minius ) and Douro (ancient name: Durius ) in what is now Portugal ( district of Viana do Castelo and district of Braga ) and Spain ( Galicia ). One ascribes them as a clientele to the Gallaekers and with them to the tribal association of the Lusitans . According to Ptolemaois, the Narbasi had a forum (rural community) Narbasorum, the location of which cannot be clearly established.

etymology

Etymologically there is no connection between the name and Celtic . The name is believed to be related to the ancient region of Narbonensis and the city of Narbo . The area on which the Narbasi settled partially covers the area of ​​the Seurbi , which Pliny mentioned a century earlier.
