Everything about Parisii France totally explained
» This article is about Celtic-Gallic people called the Parisii. For the tribe called Parisii in the north-east of Britain, and its possible links to this tribe, see Parisii (Yorkshire). For other uses, see Paris (disambiguation).
The
Parisii (or
Quarisii) were a
Celtic
Iron Age people that lived on the banks of the river
Seine (in Latin,
Sequana) in
Gaul from the middle of the third century BC until the Roman era. With the
Suessiones, the Parisii participated in the general rising of
Vercingetorix against
Julius Caesar in 52 BC.
Their chief city (
oppidum) was
Lutetia Parisiorum, which later became an important city in the Roman province of
Gallia Lugdunensis and ultimately the modern city of
Paris. (The name
Paris is derived from
Parisii).
Barry Cunliffe in
Iron Age Communities in Britain (1974) p. 45, distinguishes the
Parisii as those in the Nanterre-Paris region, and the
Parisi as those who moved to Britain, based on Ptolemy's descriptions.
