The Veneti were a seafaring tribe that lived in what is modern day Brittany, France. The most notable city, and probably the capital was Darioritum, mentioned in the Geography by Ptolemy. It was also called Vannes, probably by the name of the population, since the Middle Ages, being the residence of the Dukes of Brittany. It is located by the Gulf of Morbihan, in the Morbihandépartement.
