Gabali

The Gabali (Gaulish: *Gabli) were a small Gallic tribe living in the mountainous Gévaudan region during the Iron Age and the Roman period. Clients of the powerful Arverni, they took part in the Gallic uprising against Rome in 52 BC under Vercingetorix. Under Roman rule they formed a distinct civitas, probably created under Augustus to limit Arvernian territorial dominance, with its chief town at Anderitum (modern Javols) Their economy relied primarily on pastoralism, forestry, mining and craft production linked to regional trade networks.
