Ligures

Latin LIGUS, or LIGUR, plural LIGURES, they were ancient peoples who inhabited the northwestern Mediterranean coast from the mouth of the Ebro River in Spain to the mouth of the Arno River in Italy in the 1st millennium BC. The Etruscan expansion in the plain of the Po and the invasion of the Gauls forced the Ligurians to settle between the Alps and the Apennines. They defended themselves so well against the Romans that they gained a reputation with the ancients as being very fierce. The ancient Greeks gave all the peoples of the western world the common designation of Ligyes or Ligurians.
