context_page_description: The Atrebates were a Belgic tribe of the Iron Age and the Roman period, originally dwelling in the Artois region.
  After the tribe of Gallia Belgica was defeated by Caesar in 57 BC, 4,000 of their men participated in the battle of Alesia in 53, led by their chief Commius. They revolted again in 51 BC, after which they maintained a friendly relationship with Rome, as Commius received sovereignty over the neighbouring Morini. The quality of their woollens is still mentioned in 301 AD by Diocletian's Price Edict.
  An offshoot of the Belgic tribe probably entered Britain before 54 BC, successively ruled by kings Commius, Tincommius, Eppillus and Verica. After 43 BC, only parts of the area were controlled by king Claudius Cogidubnus, after which they fell under Roman power.
