Ceutrones

The Ceutronen (Latin Ceutrones ) were a Celtic, possibly even a keltoligurisches people in the Alps in the Roman province Alpes Graiae, hence the name Ceutronicae Alpes ( Alps Ceutronische ) comes.

They tried in 58 BC together with the Graiocelern and Caturigern and to prevent a year later with the Nantuaten Caesar on his march through the Alps, but were beaten by this in several battles. According to Pliny the Elder the Ceutronen produced a good cheese, the so-called Vatusicus, and high quality copper. The capital of Ceutronen, so Claudius Ptolemy in his Geographike Hyphegesis, axima ( Roman name: Forum Claudii Ceutronum; Today: Aime -en- Tarentaise).

A people in Belgian Gaul with the same name appears at Caesar in connection with Truppenaushebungen of Ambiorix. They are called as clientele tribe of Nervians.
