Paemani

300 BCE – 57 BCE (approx.)

One of the Germani Cisrhenani of the Belgian Ardennes, remembered in the name of the Famenne region.

Origins

Caesar lists the Paemani with the Condrusi, Eburones and Caeroesi as Germani living west of the Rhine. Their name is usually linked to the Famenne, in the modern Belgian provinces of Namur and Luxembourg.

Rule and society

Nothing is known of their rulers or settlements.

Decline and legacy

They joined the Belgic coalition against Caesar in 57 BCE. After the conquest they disappear from the sources, their land absorbed into the civitas of the Tungri.

Few sources survive for this state; details are uncertain.
