Bituriges
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bituriges (Bituriges-Cubi) was a tribe with its capital at Bourges (Avaricum).
Earlier in the century they had been one of the main tribes, but recently declined in importance. Argentomagus (near today's Argenton-sur-Creuse) was another important oppidum of theirs. This is one of several tribes which seem to have split, the Bituriges-Cubi lived near Bourges/Berry, the Bituriges-Vivisci near Burdigala (Bordeaux). The name seems to mean kings of the world.[1]
