Vangiones
The Vangiones were a tribe of the Belgae originally from the Upper Rhine valley. They are recorded in the Roman name for Worms (Augusta Vangionum) which was founded by Drusus in 14 BCE, and their presence was also recorded in inscriptions at Condercum (Benwall, Tyne and Wear) and Cilurnum (Chesters), both sites along Hadrian's Wall, as the First Cohort of Vangiones ("one thousand strong, part-mounted"). The earliest inscription shows that they were stationed along the Wall by 106 CE. They were split into two sub-units and later reunited.
