Шаблон:Short description The Catalauni (Gaulish: *Catu-uellaunoi 'war-chiefs') were a Belgic tribe dwelling in the modern Champagne region during the Roman period.Шаблон:Sfn The Catalauni probably belonged to a larger tribe, either the Remi in the north or the Lingones in the south.Шаблон:Sfn The Catuvellauni, who migrated to southern Britain in the 1st century BC, are likely part of the same tribal group.Шаблон:Sfn
Name
They are mentioned as Catalaunos by Eutropius (4th c. AD),[1] and as (Cat)alaunorum in the Notitia Dignitatum (5th c. AD).[2][3]
The ethnonym Catalauni is probably a latinized contracted form of Gaulish *Catu-uellaunoi ('war-chiefs, chiefs-of-war'), deriving from the stem catu- ('combat') attached to uellauni ('chiefs, commandants').Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The name Catuvellauni, borne by a Celtic tribe of southern Britain, is thus likely related.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
The city of Châlons-sur-Marne, attested in the 4th century as Durocatelaunos (Cathalaunum in 1185), is named after the Belgic tribe.Шаблон:Sfn
Geography
