Elusates

The Elusates were an Aquitani tribe dwelling in the modern Gers department, around present-day Eauze, France during the Iron Age and the Roman period.

They are mentioned as Elusates by Caesar (mid-1st c. BC) and Pliny (1st c. AD),[1] and as Elusa on the Tabula Peutingeriana (5th c.

[2] The city of Eauze, attested in the 4th century AD as civitas Elusa, is named after the tribe.

[3] The Elusates dwelled south of the Sotiates, north of the Onobrisates, east of the Tarusates, west of the Lactorates, and northwest of the Ausci.

[5][6] The settlement of Tasta, mentioned by Pliny, may be identified with the city since the field that partly covers the ancient Elusa is called La Taste.
