Vennonetes

The Vennonetes (lat. Vennonetes , also Vennones ) were an Alpine tribe whose residences, together with the Venosts, were in the Roman province of Raetia , in today's Vinschgau . The Vinschgau still bore the name vallis Venusta in a certificate from Otto I from 967 . By Pliny in his Naturalis Historia (3, 192) they were referred to as the most important tribe of the Raeter , but an assignment to the Celts was also discussed.

The Tropaeum Alpium in today's La Turbie (built 7/6 BC) names the Vennonetes in the list of 16/15 BC. In the Augustan Alpine campaigns defeated Alpine peoples.
