ARMORICA (AREMORICA)

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 578 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: APO-ARN
ARMORICA (AREMORICA) , the Roman name, derived from two Celtic words meaning the " seaside " (ar, on, and mor, sea), for the
land
  of the Armorici, roughly the peninsula of Brittany. At the time of the Roman advance on Gaul there were five
principal
  tribes in
Armorica
 , the Namneti, the
Veneti
 , the Osismii, the Curiosolitae and the Redones. It was subdued by Caesar, who entirely destroyed the seafaring tribe of its
south
 
coast
 , the
Veneti
 . Under the
Empire
  it formed
part
  of the province of Gallia Lugudunensis (Lugdunensis). It contained hardly any towns, though many large country houses, and was perhaps less Romanized than the rest of Gaul. In and after the later
part
  of the 5th
century
  it received many Celtic immigrants from the British Isles, fleeing (it is said) from the
Saxons
 ; and the Celtic dialect which the Bretons still speak is thought to owe its origin to these immigrants. (See further BRITTANY.)
