Lesson plan
Ilvates
The Ilvates (perhaps also Eleates) were a Ligurian people of Cisalpine Italy, on the northern slopes of the Apennines towards the Po, in the country between Placentia and Regium Lepidi. They are known only from Livy, who records them in arms against Rome in 200 BC, in the rising that sacked the colony of Placentia, and again in 197 BC, when they were the last people south of the Po to submit. They have frequently been identified with the Veleiates, though the identification is not certain.
