For the town in France, see Senones, Vosges. The Senones were a
Gallic people of
Gallia Celtica, who in the time of
Julius Caesar inhabited the district which now includes the departments of
Seine-et-Marne,
Loiret and
Yonne.From 53-51 B.C. they were engaged in hostilities with Caesar brought about by their expulsion of Cavarinus, whom he had appointed their king. In 51 B.C., a Senonian named Drappes threatened the Provincia, but was captured and starved himself to death. From this time the Gallic Senones disappear from history. In later times they were included in
Gallia Lugdunensis. Their chief towns were
Agedincum (later Senones, whence
Sens), Metiosedum (
Melun; according to A. Holder,
Meudon), and Vellaunodunum (site uncertain).
