● Article ● Talk ● Language ● Watch ● Edit (Redirected from Sogiontii)

The SogiontiorSogiontii were a Gallic tribe dwelling around present-day Sisteron during the Iron Age.

Name

They are mentioned as Sogionti (var. songi-, sonti-) by Pliny (1st c. AD),^[1] and as Sogionti and Sogion[ti]or(um) on inscriptions.^[2]^[3]

The meaning of the name remains obscure. Guy Barruol compared the first element to the toponym Soio.^[4]

Geography

edit

The Sogiontii lived in the middle valley of the Durance river, around present-day Sisteron (Segustero).^[5] Their territory was located north of the Reii, west of the Bodiontici, east of the Vocontii, and south of the Sebaginni.^[6]

They were probably part of the Vocontian confederation.^[7]^[8]

History

edit

They are mentioned by Pliny the Elder as one of the Alpine tribes conquered by Rome in 16–15 BC, and whose name was engraved on the Tropaeum Alpium.^[1]
