Gabali
Origins
The Gabali lived on the granite plateaus and valleys of the southern Massif Central, in the modern Lozère. Caesar names them as clients of the Arverni.
Rule and society
Strabo mentions their silver mines, and Pliny praises the cheese of their district, which was sold in Rome. No rulers or institutions are recorded.
Decline and legacy
They took part in the revolt of Vercingetorix in 52 BCE, attacking the Helvii on the border of the Province. Under Rome their chief town was Anderitum (Javols), and their name lived on in the medieval county and bishopric of Gévaudan.
Few sources survive for this state; details are uncertain.
