Genauni
The Genauni (Gaulish: *Genaunoi, earlier *Gēnomnoi, 'the natives') or Genaunes were a Gallic tribe dwelling in the eastern valley of the Inn river, in Tyrol, during the Iron Age and the Roman period.
Name
[edit | edit source]They are mentioned as Genaunos by Horace (1st c. BC),[1] as Genaúnōn (Γεναύνων) by Strabo (early 1st c. AD),[2] and as Genaunes by Pliny (1st c. AD).[3]
The ethnic name Genauni is a latinized form of Gaulish *Genaunoi (sing. Genaunos), which can be translated 'the natives'. It stems from an earlier form *Géno-mnoi, based on the stem gen(o)- ('descendants, family').[4]
Geography
[edit | edit source]The Genauni lived in the eastern valley of the Inn river, in Raetia.[5][6] Their territory was located north of the Focunates, east of the Breuni, south of the Estiones, Licates and Cosuanetes, west of the Vennones.[7]
History
[edit | edit source]They are mentioned by Pliny the Elder as one of the Alpine tribes conquered by Rome in 16–15 BC, and whose name was engraved on the Tropaeum Alpium.[3]
