BELGAE


Meaning of BELGAE in English

n.

Inhabitants of Gaul north of the Sequana ( Seine ) and Matrona ( Marne ) rivers.

The term was apparently first applied by Julius Caesar , whose Gallic victories (54–51 BC) sent many Belgae into Britain, where they formed kingdoms, the most important of which were at Camulodunum (Colchester), Verulamium (St. Albans), and Calleva Atrebatum (Silchester).
