Orobii
Ancient Celtic tribe of Italy
The Orobii or Oromobii (also Orobi or Orumbovii) were an ancient Celtic people who dwelt around present-day Como and Bergamo during the Iron Age. They are usually classed as Celtic and associated with the Golasecca culture, alongside the Laevi, Lepontii, and Insubres, although their ultimate origin was already a matter of uncertainty in antiquity.

The Orobii or Oromobii (also Orobi or Orumbovii) were an ancient Celtic people who dwelt around present-day Como and Bergamo during the Iron Age. They are usually classed as Celtic and associated with the Golasecca culture, alongside the Laevi, Lepontii, and Insubres, although their ultimate origin was already a matter of uncertainty in antiquity. An ancient tradition credited them with founding the chief towns of the district, among them Como and Bergamo. Their principal town, Bergamo, grew into the easternmost urban centre of the Golasecca culture before declining sharply after the Gallic invasions of the early 4th century BC.
