Nervii

A powerful and warlike people in Gallia Belgica, whose territory extended from the river Sabis (Sambre) to the ocean. Their chief towns were Bagacum (Bavia), Camaracum (Cambray), and Turnacum (Tournay) (B. G. v. 39). In B.C. 58 they were defeated by Inlius Caesar with terrible slaughter (B. G. ii. 15; v. 38; vi. 2).
