On arrival of the Romans to current south-west France, the Pyrenees and its threshold up to Cantabria, the territory was occupied by a number of tribes, most of them non Indo-European (the nature of others remain unclear, e.g. the Caristii).
Po dolasku Rimljana u današnju jugozapadnu Francuske, Pireneje i njihov prag prema Kantabriji, teritorij je bio okupiran od strane brojnih plemena, od kojih su većina bila ne-indoeuropska (priroda drugih je ostala nejasna, primjerice Caristii).
