ΑΚΟΥΙΤΑΝΙΑ (Επαρχία) ΓΑΛΛΙΑ
Ausci ((Auskioi), also Auscenses, one of the nations of Aquitania who submitted
to Caesar's legatus, P. Crassus, in B.C. 56. Strabo (p. 191) says that they had
the Latinitas at the time when he wrote. Mela (iii. 2) calls the Ausci the most
illustrious of the Aquitanian nations. Their territory was fertile. The position
of the Ausci is determined by that of Auch, or Augusta Auscorum, their chief town;
and their territory may be represented pretty nearly by the French department
of Gers.
Bigerriones, a people of Aquitania, who, among others, surrendered to Crassus, the legatus of Caesar, in B.C. 56. (B. G. iii. 27.) Pliny (iv. 19) calls them Begerri. The name still exists in Bigorre, a part of the old division of Gascogne. It contains part of the high Pyrenees. The capital was Turba, first mentioned in the Notitia, which was afterwards called Tarria, Tarba, and finally Tarbes. The territory of the Bigerriones also contained Aquensis Vicus, now Bagneres.
