Cavares
The '''Cavares''' were a Gaul|Gallic tribe, or a federation of tribes, located in the lower Rhone valley. Their strongholds were Avignon (''Avennio''), Orange, Vaucluse|Orange (''Arausio'') and Cavaillon (''Cabellio''). Their closest neighbours were the Segallauni, the Tricastini, the Salyes, the Albici (or Albioeci) and the Vocontii.
Archaeology
The famous ''Tarasque de Noves'' anthropophagous statue, displayed in the Musée Calvet in Avignon, is attributed to the Cavares.
