The Celtici Supertamarici were an ancient Gallaecian Celtic tribe, living in the west of what is now modern Galicia, in the Xallas comarcas.

Etymology

It's unknown where the name originates. Some researchers suggest that the Supertamarici could be linked to a hydronym for the Adaja River. Other tribes with similar links appear in the Arevalillo region and the Eresma River.[1]

Geography
