In this video is a short presentation of the ancient tribes of the Belgae, who lived in today's territory of Belgium. Some of these tribes (Remi, Bellovaci, Morini and Atrebates) were Gallic, while other (Nervii, Aduatuci, Condrusi, Menapii, Treveri) show Germanic features. These tribes were conquered by Romans led by Caesar in 57 BC. For a long time the Belgae were considered to be Gallic people, or a Germanic people dominated by a Gallic aristocracy (hypothesis suggested by the fact that the names of the Belgae chiefs are of Celtic origin, as well as ancient and non-Germanic toponyms). The Belgae gave their name to the Roman province of Gallia Belgica, and very much later, to the modern country of Belgium.
