Description

Atuatuca Tungrorum, l'odierna Tongeren, era una città della provincia romana della Germania Inferiore.

Nel 57 a.C. il generale romano Giulio Cesare conquistò l'area dell'attuale Francia settentrionale, il Belgio e e l'Olanda meridionale, la Gallia Belgica. Ad Atuatuca, una fortezza degli Eburoni, fu costruito un accampamento romano. Ambiorige e Catuvolco, due re degli Eburoni, arrivarono qui nel 54 a.C. per ribellarsi contro i Romani. Con uno stratagemma, gli Eburoni riuscirono ad attirare i romani da Atuatuca: la quattordicesima legione e un'unità di cavalleria di 200 uomini subirono un agguato a poche miglia da Atuatuca in un'ampia valle e quasi completamente sterminati. Cesare quindi mandò nove legioni nella Gallia Belgica. Dopo una lunga lotta, le tribù ribelli furono massacrate o espulse dal loro territorio. Catuvolco si suicidò e Ambiorige fuggì verso il Reno ai Germani.
