The Garumni or Garunni were a people of Aquitania, named by Caesar among those who submitted to Publius Crassus in 56 BC. Their name is that of the Garonne river.
Name
Caesar names the people Garumni, with the variant Garunni, in his account of the Aquitanian campaign of 56 BC.[1][2]
The name comes from that of river Garonne (Garumna).[3] Jean-Pierre Bost argues that Garunni may not be a people's name, but a name of convenience for obscure groups living near the Garonne.[4]
The origin of the river-name is debated. Some scholars take it as Celtic, and others as Aquitanian.[3][4]
History
In 56 BC the legate Publius Crassus overran Aquitania for Caesar. After his victory most of the Aquitanian peoples gave hostages, and Caesar lists the Garumni among them, with the Sibuzates and Cocosates.[2]
