The Eburones were the largest of the Germanic peoples dwelling in the northeast of Gaul - the so-called Germani cisrhenani - during the Gallic Wars of Julius Caesar in the years 58-50 BC. They fought and eventually lost against the Roman forces of Caesar in alliance with their fellow Belgae of northern Gaul, and the Treveri who were their neighbours to the south. They do not appear in historical records after this.
