Tolistobogier
The Tolistobogier ( Gr . Τολιστοβόγιοι, also Τολιστοάγιοι, Latin Tolistobogii) were a Celtic tribe who, at home in Asia Minor , belonged to the Galatians .
history
279/8 BC The Tolistobogier moved together with the Trokmers under the leadership of Leonnorios through Thrace . Their destination was the area of Byzantion , where the Celts settled. Here the Tolistobogier were recruited as allies by Nicomedes I. After 275/4 BC The Tolistobogians occupied northwestern Phrygia . Gordion became the urban center and remained so until 189 BC. During this period, their territory stretched from the Axylos in the south to the Bolu basin in the north and to the Ankara - Haymana region in the east. The tribe was organized into four principalities ( tetrarchies ).
The Tolistobogier were used by the Seleucids since Antiochus Hierax against the empire of Pergamon under the Attalids . However, only three of the four tetrarchies were allied with the Seleucids in the fight against Pergamon and thus also their allies , the Romans . After 238 BC BC the Pergamener under Attalus I defeated the Tolistobogier at the sources of the Kaīkos . At 230 he struck them, the Tectos sagas and the Seleucids on Aphrodision . 189 BC The Celts were defeated by an army under Gnaeus Manlius Vulso on the Olympos . 184/3 BC The Tolistobogians under the leadership of one of their tetrarchs, Ortiagon , were subject to the Pergamenern under Eumenes II. 179 BC. They lost the Bolu Basin to Bithynia .
In the late 2nd century BC BC tried with Sinorix one of the tetrarchs to gain dominance over the Tolistobogier. But it was only his son Deiotarus who became sole ruler after 86 BC. BC Mithradates VI. carried out a massacre among the nobility of the Galatian tetrarchs, through which he was finally able to gain control over the Celtic tribes of the Trokmer and Tecto sagas. The end of the Trokmer Empire came with the establishment of the Roman provinces Galatia , Germa and Bithynia , the Metropolis Ankyra and the Polis Pessinus , among which the territory of the Tolistobogier was divided.
