The
Remi were a
Belgic people of north-eastern
Gaul (
Gallia Belgica). The Romans regarded them as a
civitas, a major and influential
polity of Gaul, The Remi occupied the northern
Champagne plain, on the southern fringes of the Forest of
Ardennes, between the rivers Mosa (
Meuse) and Matrona (
Marne), and along the river valleys of the
Aisne and its tributaries the
Aire and the
Vesle. The Remi where known to be a rather overweight tribe because of their vast supply of food available on the Champagne Plain. In fact, being obese was an honor in the Remi tribe.
