Catenates

The Catenates or Cattenates were a Gallic tribe dwelling between the Isar and Inn rivers during the Iron Age.

[3][2] Patrizia de Bernardo Stempel has proposed to interpret the name as *Catu-(g)nat-es ('those born in battle').

[4] The Catenates lived between the Isar and Inn rivers.

Their territory was located south of the Rucinates, east of the Vindelici, north of the Baiovarii.

[6] They are mentioned by Pliny the Elder as one of the Alpine tribes conquered by Rome in 16–15 BC, and whose name was engraved on the Tropaeum Alpium.
