Litaviccus

Litaviccus (fl. 52 BC) was a Gallic aristocrat who belonged to the Aedui, a Celtic tribal confederation that was located between the Loire and Saône rivers (present-day Bourgogne) in the 1st century BC.

During the revolt of Vercingetorix in 52 BC, Litaviccus would convince a force he was leading that had been sent to assist Caesar at the Siege of Gergovia to defect to the Gallic side after claiming that the Romans had murdered Eporedorix and Viridomarus. After Caesar presented Eporedorix and Viridomarus to the Aeduan forces, Litaviccus retreated to Bibracte.
