Pictones
The Pictones were a tribe inhabiting a region along the Bay of Biscay in what is now western France, along the south bank of the Loire.〔Ptolemy, ''Geography'' ii.6 ((Lacus Curtius on-line translation )); Strabo, Geography, Book IV, Chapter 2.〕 During the reign of Augustus (27 BC – 14 AD), the Pictones were included in the larger province of Gallia Aquitania, along with most of western Gaul. They gave their name to the Roman appellation of Poitiers - ''Limonum Pictonum / Pictavi'',〔(Limonum Pictonum / Pictavi = Civ. Pictavorum )〕 as well as to the modern region of Poitou. ==Prior to Roman rule==
The Pictones minted coins from the end of the 2nd century BC. The tribe was first noted in written sources when encountered by Julius Caesar. Caesar depended on their shipbuilding skills for his fleet on the Loire.〔Caesar, ''Commentarii de Bello Gallico'' iii.11.〕 Their chief town Lemonum, the Celtic name of modern-day Poitiers (Poitou),〔The ''c'', in ''Poictou'' and ''Poictevin'', was often retained into early modern times.〕 is located on the south bank of the Liger. Ptolemy mentions a second town, Ratiatum (modern Rezé).〔Ptolemy, ''Geography'' ii.6.〕 The political organization of the region was modeled on the royal Celtic system. Duratios was king of the Pictones during the Roman conquest, but his power waned thanks to the poor skill of his generals. However, the Pictones frequently aided Julius Caesar in naval battles, particularly with the naval victory over the Veneti on the Armorican peninsula.
