Tungri

The Tungri were a tribe of ancient Gaul who occupied the lands of the northern Arduenna Silva (Ardennes), along the lower valley of the Mosa (Meuse). They were border to the north and east by Germanic tribes, but were bolstered by the Belgic Nervii on the west and the Remi and Treveri to the south. Their tribal capital lay at Atuatuca, modern Tongeren in the Limburg province of Belgium.

The Tungri tribe was mentioned in The Notitia Dignitatum, an early 5th century AD document, in which was transcribed every military and governmental post in the late Roman empire. The document mentions the Tribune of the First Cohort of Tungri at Vercovicium (also known as Housesteads in Northumberland). There was also a Second Cohort of Tungri as well, both cohorts 1000 men strong.
