300 BC – 57 BC
CultureEurope

Fiercest of the Belgic tribes per Caesar, based between the Scheldt and Sambre rivers; nearly destroyed Caesar's legions at the Battle of the Sabis (57 BCE) before being crushed.

Decimated at the Sabis (Caesar claims only 500 of 60,000 warriors survived, likely exaggerated); reduced to client status and absorbed into Roman Gallia Belgica.
