Novempopulania
Novempopulania (Latin for "country of the nine peoples") was one of the provinces created by Diocletian out of Gallia Aquitania, being also called Aquitania Tertia. The area of Novempopulania was historically the first one to receive the name of ''Aquitania'', as it was here where the original Aquitani dwelt primarily. The territory extended within the triangular area outlined by the River Garonna, the Pyrenees and the ocean, as described by Caesar in ''De bello gallico'' for Gallia Aquitania. In his work, Caesar describes the Aquitani as being different in language and body make-up from their northerly neighbours and more similar to the Iberians. Yet province Aquitania was enlarged by Augustus, and it began to signify a larger and more diverse territory.
==Creation and evidence==
Novempopulania stands for the nine peoples making up the original territory (Aquitania Tertia). It seems clear that at the time of the lower empire (2nd to 4th century),〔(【引用サイトリンク】 La Pierre Romaine / Erromatar Harria ) Article in French and Basque〕 the nine peoples were granted by the emperor the detachment from the proper Gauls (Celts) by means of the ''magister pagi'' Verus Flamen Dumvir, and as a result a celebrating altar was erected dedicated to the deity of the pagus. This fact is accounted for by the remains of the altar unearthed in the current Basque town of Hasparren. The newly acquired status may have affected not only the tax system but the conscription and military order too, since two separate bodies were created within Aquitania, i.e. the "Cohortes Aquitanorum" for old Aquitanians and "Cohortes Aquitanorum Biturigum" for those of proper Gaul origin.
The number of peoples went on to be twelve later, the tribes being identified with a corresponding capital town or ''civitas'', namely Civitas Ausciorum, Civ. Aquensium, Civ. Lactoratium, Civ. Convenarum, Civ. Consorannorum, Civ. Boatium, Civ. Benarnensium, Civ. Aturensium, Civ. Vasatica, Civ. Turba, Civ. Illoronensium, Civ. Elusatium. These civitas are in turn identifiable with present day towns and cities as follows: Auch, Dax, Lectoure, Comminges, Couserans, Buch and Born, Béarn or Lescar, Aire-sur-l'Adour, Bazas, Tarbes, Oloron, Eauze. Elusa (Eauze) remained the capital city of Novempopulania throughout most of its existence.
Wide evidence of slab engravings have been found scattered all over the area comprising Novempopulania. These recordings feature names of deities, persons and places with easily identifiable similarities to present-day Basque, a fact that provides along with current and ancient place-names north of the Pyrenees (e.g. ''Illiberris'' mentioned by Ptolemy on the eastern fringes of Novempopulania) and traces of Basque in the Gascon (especially in the Béarnese dialect) the basis for an Aquitanian proto-Basque theory.
