Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: I27-INV
INSUBRES ("Ivo(3pes, "Ivvouf pot) , a Celtic
people
  of upper Italy, the most powerful in Gallia Transpadana, inhabiting the country between the
Adda
 , the Ticinus and the Alps. According to Livy (v. 34) they appear to have been a branch of the
Aedui
  in Gallia Transalpina, though others assume that they were Umbrians, a view to some extent supported by the form Is-ombr-es. Livy states that Bellovesus and his Gauls, having crossed the Alps and defeated the Etruscans near the Ticinus, found themselves in the territory of the Insubres (also the name of a pagus of the
Aedui
 ). Here they built a city and called it
Mediolanum
  (
Milan
 ), after the name of a
village
  in their
home
  in Gallia Transalpina. The name Insubres thus appears applied to the inhabitants (1) of the Aeduan pagus, (2) of the territory in Gallia Transpadana occupied by Bellovesus, (3) to the founders
of Mediolanum. From 222 to 195 B.C. the Insubres were
frequently at war with the Romans. In 222 they were de-
feated at Clastidium by M.
Claudius
  Marcellus, who gained the spolia opima by slaying with his own hand their king Viridomarus (Virdumarus), and in 194 they were finally subdued by L. Valerius Flaccus.
