Edited sentence: After thus conquering the Atrebates, Caesar appointed one of their countrymen, the multi-lingual Commius, as their king.Although there is no direct proof, it is well possible that the Atrebates were Germanic speaking Celts like their northern and eastern neighbours.In 57 BC they were part of a Belgic military alliance in response to Julius Caesar's conquests elsewhere in Gaul, promising 15,000 men.In return for his loyalty he was also given authority over the Morini and most probably also the Menapii.Likely is however that a (southern) part of the tribe already spoke the Gaul language.North of the Atrebates lived the Morini, south the Gaul Ambiani, to the east the Viromandui and Nervii.Their civitas, Nemetocenna, is now the city of Arras
