The Lemovices (Lemovici) were a Gaulish tribe of Central Europe who established themselves in Limousin and Poitou between 700 and 400 BC. Their capital was ''Durotincum'' (Villejoubert) and in the era of Roman occupation, it was ''Augustoritum'' (Limoges). ''Lémovices'' stems from ''lemo'' « elm » and ''vices'' « who win » (« winners with elm »), their lances probably made out of elm.〔Xavier Delamarre, ''Dictionnaire de la langue gauloise'', Éditions Errance, Paris, 2003.〕 The Lemovices gave their name to Limoges and the Limousin. Other locations associated with them were ''Acitodunum'' (23-Ahun), ''Argentate'' (19-Argentat), ''Blatomagus'' (87-Blond), ''Briva Curretia'' (19-Brive-la-Gaillarde), ''Cassinomagus'' (16-Chassenon), ''Carovicus'' (87-Château-Chervix), ''Roncomagus'' (87-Rancon), ''Excingidiacum'' (19-Yssandon) et ''Uxellum'' (19-Ussel). One of their main sanctuary was recently found in Tintignac including several unique objects in the world such as "carnyx".〔http://tintignac.wix.com/tintignac-naves#!english/c11e3 Official website of Tintignac-Naves〕 In 52 BC, some 10,000 Lemovician combatants fought against Julius Caesar at the Battle of Alesia. Their chief, Sedullos, was killed there. ==External links== *(Who Was Who in Roman Times ) *Lemovices at the Galician Wikipedia 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「Lemovices」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
