Everything about Remi totally explained
» This article is about a tribe, for alternate meanings see Remi (disambiguation).
The
Remi were a
Belgic tribe of north-eastern
Gaul in the
1st century BC. They occupied the northern
Champagne plain, on the southern fringes of the Forest of
Ardennes, between the rivers Mosa (
Meuse) and Matrona (
Marne), and along the river valleys of the
Aisne and its tributaries the
Aire and the
Vesle.
They were surrounded on all sides by friendly Belgic states, and their tribal capital was at Durocortum (
Reims, France) the second largest "
oppidum" of
Gaul, on the Vesle. Allied with the
Germanic tribes of the east, they repeatedly engaged in warfare against the
Parisii and the
Senones. They were renowned for their horses and cavalry. The Remi, under Iccius and Andecombogius, allied themselves with
Julius Caesar and remained loyal to him throughout the entire Gallic Wars, the most pro-
Roman of all the peoples of Gaul.
A late legend accounts that
Remus, the brother of
Romulus, founded the city of
Reims after having fled the
Latium, nowaday north of
France, as well as originated the Remi people.
