[[Image:Map Gallia Tribes Towns.png|thumb|260px|right]] The '''Remi''' were a [[Belgae|Belgic]] tribe of north-eastern [[Gaul]] in the [[1st century BC]]. They occupied the northern [[Champagne (province)|Champagne]] plain, on the southern fringes of the Forest of [[Ardennes]], between the rivers Mosa ([[Meuse]]) and Matrona ([[Marne]]), and along the river valleys of the [[Aisne River|Aisne]] and its tributaries the [[Aire (Aisne)|Aire]] and the [[Vesle]]. They were surrounded on all sides by friendly Belgic states, and their tribal capital was at Durocortum ([[Reims]], France) the second largest "[[oppidum]]" of [[Gaul]], on the Vesle. Allied with the [[Germanic tribes]] of the east, they repeatedly engaged in warfare against the [[Parisii]] and the [[Senones]]. They were renowned for their horses and cavalry. The Remi, under Iccius and Andecombogius, allied themselves with [[Julius Caesar]] and remained loyal to him throughout the entire Gallic Wars, the most pro-[[Ancient Rome|Roman]] of all the peoples of Gaul. A late legend accounts that [[Remus]], the brother of [[Romulus]], founded the city of [[Reims]] after having fled the [[Latium]], nowaday north of [[France]], as well as originated the Remi people. ==See also== * [[List of peoples of Gaul]] * [[List of Celtic tribes]] {{Peoples of Gaul}} [[Category:Tribes of ancient Gaul]] [[ca:Rems]] [[de:Remer]] [[fr:Rèmes]] [[it:Remi]] [[lad:Remi]] [[ko:레미족]] [[nl:Remi]]
