Coriobedenses

The Coriobedenses were a small Gallic tribe dwelling in the present-day Gard department during the Roman period.

Name

They are attested as Coriobedenses on an inscription found in Collias (Gard).[1]

The first element derives from the Gaulish stem corio- ('army, troop'), itself from Proto-Indo-European *kóryos ('army, people under arms').[2]

Geography

The Coriobedenses lived near modern Collias, as attested by their mention on the Collias inscription.[3]

Religion

They appear on an inscription dedicated to Jupiter alongside the Budenicenses.[1]
