The 'Bituriges' (Bituriges-Cubi) was a tribe with its capital at
Bourges (Avaricum).
A map of
Gaul in the 1st century BC, showing the relative positions of the Celtic tribes.
Earlier in the century they had been one of the main tribes, but recently declined in importance.
Argentomagus (near today's
Argenton-sur-Creuse) was another important
oppidum of theirs. This is one of several tribes which seem to have split, the Bituriges-Cubi lived near Bourges/
Berry, the Bituriges-Vivisci near Burdigala (
Bordeaux). The name seems to mean ''kings of the world''.
