Remove ads
The Sebaginni were a Gallic tribe dwelling in the middle Durance valley during the Iron Age.
Name
They are mentioned as Sebaginnos (var. -gninos, Sabagnanos) by Cicero (early 1st c. BC).[1][2]
The meaning of the name remains obscure. The first element, seba-, can be compared with the personal names Seboθθu, Sebosus, Sebosiana, and Sebbaudus.[3] The second component, -ginn-, may be Celtic, too.[2]
Geography
The Sebaginni lived in the middle valley of the Durance river, north of present-day Sisteron (Segustero).[4] Their territory was located south of the Avantici, east of the Vocontii, north of the Sogiontii, and west of the Edenates and Gallitae.[5]
They were probably part of the Vocontian confederation.[6][7]
