Statue of Ambiorix, Grote Markt, Tongeren, Limburg, Flanders, Belgium, Western EuropeMore information:
Ambiorix was, together with Cativolcus, prince of the Eburones, leader of a Belgic tribe of north-eastern Gaul (Gallia Belgica), where modern Belgium is located. In the 19th century Ambiorix became a Belgian national hero because of his resistance against Julius Caesar, as written in Caesar's Commentarii de Bello Gallico. According to Julius Caesar the Belgians (Belgae) were the bravest of the Gauls.
