Albiones

The Albiones or Albioni were a Gallaecian people living the north coast of modern Spain in western Asturias and eastern Galicia mentioned by Pliny the Elder.

[1] They are generally included in maps of Roman Spain.

[2]The name Albiones is also attested on the "stele of Nicer Clutosi" found near Vegadeo, which has the inscription: This same area was settled by a group of Britons in the post-Roman period, from whom the region took the name Britonia or Bretoña, mentioned in ecclesiastical sources as Britonensis ecclesia ("British church") and an episcopal see called the sedes Britonarum - see the History of Galicia.
