Allobroges

The Allobroges were a Celtic-speaking tribe that lived in what is now eastern France during ancient times. They were part of the Gallic peoples and played a significant role during the Roman Republic era, engaging in trade, alliances, and conflicts. Known for their skilled horsemen and resistance to Roman expansion, they allied with Julius Caesar during his campaigns in Gaul. Their territory included the region around the Rhône River and the Alps. Today, their heritage is part of the rich tapestry of France's ancient history, highlighting their influence in shaping regional culture and interactions in pre-Roman and Roman times.
