Nero Claudius Drusus
The Romans under Nero Claudius Drusus established a military outpost belonging to the "Germania Superior" Roman province close to a Gaulish village near the banks of the Rhine, at the current location of Strasbourg, and named it Argentoratum. Its name was first mentioned in 12 BC but "Argentorate" is the toponym of the Gaulish settlement that preceded it before being latinised, though it is not known by how long.
