The Albiones were a Pre-Roman Celtic tribe of the Iberian Peninsula living the north coast of modern Spain in western Asturias, probably belonging to the Gallaeci and Astur group, and mentioned by Pliny. They are generally included in maps of Roman Spain.〔''Tabula Imperii Romani K-29, Porto: Conimbriga, Bracara, Lucus, Asturica'', (Madrid, 1991) 20-21; Richard J.A. Talbert (ed.), ''Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World'', map 24, E1.〕 The name ''Albiones'' is also attested on the "stele of Nicer Clutosi" found near Vegadeo, which has the inscription: :☧ NICER CLUTOSI (filius) C(astello) CARIACA PRINCIPIS ALBIONUM AN(norum) LXXV HI(c) S(itus) EST, which can be translated as " Nicer, () of Clutoso from the house of Cariaca, prince of the Albions, (aged ) 75 years, lies here." 〔''L'Année épigraphique'' (1946), 121. 〕 This same area was settled by a group of Britons in the post-Roman period, from whom the region took the name Britonia or Bretoña, mentioned in ecclesiastical sources as ''Britonensis ecclesia'' ("British church") and an episcopal see called the ''sedes Britonarum'' - see the History of Galicia. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Albiones」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
