Aquitanica

Aquitanica, also known as Aquitania, was an ancient region in the south-west of the Gallic province of France. It was inhabited by the Aquitani, a Celtic tribe, and later became a Roman province. The region is named after the Aquitani, who were known for their resistance to Roman conquest. The Aquitani were skilled warriors and were known for their ability to fight in both infantry and cavalry formations. They were also known for their use of the composite bow, which was a powerful weapon in their arsenal. The Aquitani were eventually defeated by the Romans, and their territory became part of the Roman province of Gallia Aquitania. The region remained an important part of the Roman Empire until the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century AD. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the region was invaded by various Germanic tribes, including the Visigoths and the Franks. The region eventually became part of the Frankish kingdom, and later the French kingdom. Today, the region is known as Aquitaine, and is a major wine-producing region in France.
