The Ambivareti were a small ancient Gallic tribe living in what is now the region of Burgundy during the Iron Age. They were clients of the most powerful Aedui.
They are attested as Ambivareti by Caesar (mid-1st c. BC).
According to Xavier Delamarre, the ethnic name Ambivareti is derived from the Gaulish root uer- ('river'), which is also attested as uar- in place and river names.
Helmut Birkhan suggested that the similarity in name with the Ambivariti, located west of the Meuse in modern Belgium, could point to a common origin prior to subsequent migrations.
The location of their territory, somewhere in the vicinity of Aeduan territory, remains uncertain.
During the Gallic Wars (58âÂÂ50 BC), they are cited by Caesar as clients of the Aedui.
