The Eburones were a Belgic tribe based in north-eastern Gaul in the 1st century BC. Julius Caesar describes them as being of Germanic origin. They are believed to have lived between the Meuse and Rhine rivers. Ambiorix, an Eburonian chief, is known for having led a rebellion against the Romans in 54 BC. Because of this rebellion the Eburones were defeated by the Romans and Caesar invited all people that were interested to destroy and terminate them. The Sicambri were one of the main raiders. The Eburones were later replaced by the Tungri and Ubii.
