The Eburones (
Greek: ,
Strabo), were a people of Germanic descent that lived in the upper north of
Gallia largely between the
Rhine and the
Maas, east of the
Menapii. This area later became part of the province
Germania Inferior.
Julius Caesar says that the
Condrusi, Eburones, Caeraesi, and Paemani were called by the one name of
Germani (B. G. ii. 4), which suggests a
Germanic ethnic origin. When the
Usipetes and Tenchtheri, who were Germanic tribes, crossed the
Rhine from
Germania (
55 BCE), they first fell on the
Menapii, and then advanced into the territories of the Eburones and
Condrusi, who were in some kind of political dependence on the
Treviri. (B. G. iv. 6.)
