The Sebaginni were a Gallic tribe dwelling in the middle Durance valley during the Iron Age.

Name[edit]

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[edit]

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]
