King of the Eburones in Gaul (living in what is now the eastern tip of Belgium) in the middle of the 1st century BC. Dates of birth and death unknown. Appears in Caesar's "Commentaries on the Gallic Wars" as Caesar's greatest enemy. At first he assisted Caesar, but rebelled in 54 BC. He defeated and killed two of Caesar's generals, inciting the anti-Roman movement among the Gallic people, and further harassed the Roman army with guerilla tactics. After Caesar thoroughly annihilated his country, Ambiorix fled to Germania and disappeared from history. [Yoshimura Tadanori] Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
前1世紀中ごろ,ガリアのエブロネス族(およそ現在のベルギー東端部に居住)の王。生没年不詳。カエサルの《ガリア戦記》に彼を最も苦しめた敵として現れる。はじめカエサルを援助したが,前54年に反逆。彼の部将2人を敗死させてガリア人の反ローマ運動を盛り上がらせ,さらにゲリラ戦法でローマ軍を苦しめた。カエサルが彼の国を徹底的に殲滅(せんめつ)すると,アンビオリクスはゲルマニアに逃れ,歴史から姿を消した。【吉村 忠典】
