释义 |
The Gangani (Γαγγανοι) were a people of ancient Ireland who are referred to in Ptolemy's 2nd century Geography as living in the south-west of the island, probably near the mouth of the River Shannon, between the Auteini to the north and the Uellabori to the south.[1][2] There appears to have been a people of the same name in north-west Wales, as Ptolemy calls the Llŷn Peninsula the "promontory of the Gangani" (Γαγγανὤν ἄκρον).[3][4] References1. ^Ptolemy, Geography 2.1 {{Ptolemy's Ireland}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Gangani}}2. ^Philip Freeman, Ireland and the Classical World, University of Texas Press, 2001, pp. 73-74 3. ^T.
