VOLCAE

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 178 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VIR-WAT
VOLCAE , a Celtic people in the province of Gallia Narbonensis, who occupied the
district
  between the Garumna (Garonne), Cerbenna mons (Cevennes), and the Rhodanus (or even farther to the
east
  in earlier times), corresponding roughly to the old province of
Languedoc
 . They were divided into two tribes, the Arecomici on the
east
  and the Tectosages (whose territory included that of the Tolosates) on the west, separated by the river Arauris (HerauLt) or a line between the Arauris and Orbis (Orbe). The Volcae were free and independent, had their own laws, and possessed the jus Latii. The
chief
  town of the Tectosages was Tolosa (Toulouse); of the Arecomici, Nemausus (Nimes); the
capital
  of the province and residence of the
governor
  was Narbo
Martius
  (Narbonne). It was said that there was an early
settlement
  of Volcae Tectosages near the Hercynia Silva in Germany; Tectosages was also the name of one of the three
great
  communities of Gauls who invaded and settled in Asia
Minor
  in the country called after them Galatia.
See A. Holder, Altceltischer Sprachschatz, i. ii. (1896, 1904), s.vv. " Arecomici " and " Tectosagi "; T. R. Holmes, Caesar's Conquest of Gaul (1899) p. 513; A. Desjardins, Geographie de la Gaule romaine, i. (1876).
