The Venisami (Gaulish: *Uenisamoi) or Venisamores were a Gallic tribe dwelling in the Alps during the Iron Age.

Name[edit]

They are mentioned as Venisamorum on the Arch of Susa.[1]

The ethnic name Venisami is a latinized form of Gaulish *Uenisamoi (sing. Uenisamos). It can be derived from the stem ueni- ('family, clan, friends') attached to -sāmo- ('calm'),[1] and translated as the 'friendly ones'.[2] It is comparable with the personal names Uenisamus (in Cisalpina) and Uenixama (in Lepontia).[3]

Geography[edit]

They may have dwelled around Forum Germanici (modern Busca), south of the Binbelli, north of the Epanterii, and east of the Statielli.[4]

History[edit]

They appear on the Arch of Susa, erected by Cottius in 9–8 BC.[5]
