Eguiturii
The Eguiturii or Eguituri were a Celto-Ligurian tribe dwelling in the Alpes Maritimae during the Iron Age. Name. They are mentioned as "Eguituri" by Pliny (1st c. AD). The meaning of the ethnonym "Eguituri(i)" remains unclear. The original nominative form was probably "Eguiturii". The prefix "egui"- may be a variant of "equi"-, which can be translated as 'horse', with an archaic preservation of labio-velar "-kʷ-" (in contrast to Gaul. "epos"). The suffix -"turi(i)" may be compared with the ethnic name "Turi" or "Turii" ("Tyrii"), a tribe living nearby in upper Stura valley. Geography. The Eguiturii probably dwelled  in the upper Verdon valley. Their territory was located east of the Adanates, Gallitae and Bodiontici, west of the Nemeturii, north of the Sentii and Vergunni, and south of the Savincates and Caturiges. History. They are mentioned by Pliny the Elder as one of the Alpine tribes conquered by Rome in 16–15 BC, and whose name was engraved on the Tropaeum Alpium.
