The most famous (infamous?) resident of Tongeren was given the most prominent place in the city. The imposing bronze statue of Eburone King Ambiorix from 1866 honors the memorable victory over the Romans in 54 BC. It was not for nothing that Julius Caesar called the Belgians the bravest of all Gauls. Ambiorix poses in Germanic costume, with an ax as his weapon of choice and a dragon helmet. His feet trample the weapons of the defeated Roman opponents. The statue's fence consists of spears, boar heads and arrows, in the style of Celtic traditions.

Yürüyüş

At the time of Julius Caesar's conquest of Gaul, Ambiorix was, together with Catuvolcus, king of the Gallic tribe of the Eburones, who are said to have lived "between the Maas and the Rhine", in parts of the present-day Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. He became a mythical Belgian hero from the 19th century onwards because of his resistance against the Romans, as described in Caesar's Commentarii de bello Gallico. The name Ambiorix means Rich King.
