Bodiocasses (also Bajocasses or Baiocasses) is the name given by the Romans to a Gallic tribe that inhabited part of the region of Gallia Lugdunensis, present-day Normandy, near the city of Bayeux. History
The Bodiocasses are cited in the work of Pliny the Elder in his Naturalis history:
"Lyons, France ... has Viducasses, Bodiocasses Unelli ..."
His Latin name comes from the words Bodio (corneja or rook) and cassi (hair, hair) so that Bodiocasses would designate the people of those who have black hair (like the crow).
The Bodiocasses would have occupied the modern region of Lower Normandy known as Le Bessin, having as main settlement (oppidum) the town of Civitas baiocassium or Augustodurum which today is known as Bayeux.
They had by neighbors the unelos (to the west and south) and the viducasos (to the east) on whom they would have had a strong influence in the Low Empire, subjecting to the capital of these, Aregenua.
Remains of its numismatic culture are preserved in silver and bronze stakes from the second century BC. C.
