Quatuor Parisii

Quatuor Parisii was an ancient Gallic tribe that inhabited the Paris Basin around the 1st century BCE. Their name, meaning "Four Parisii," refers to the four main clans or groups within the tribe. They were part of the broader Gaulish culture and played a significant role in the region’s history before Roman conquest. The modern city of Paris derives its name from the Parisii tribe, reflecting their historical presence in the area. They engaged in agriculture, trade, and craftsmanship, contributing to the region’s early development. Their legacy persists through archaeological finds and the enduring name of the city.
