The Focunates were an ancient Alpine tribe dwelling near present-day Innsbruck ( Tyrol) during the Iron Age.
They are mentioned as Focunates by Pliny (1st c. AD). [1]
The Focunates lived west of Veldidena (modern Wilten, Innsbruck), in Raetia. [2] Their territory was located south of the Genauni, north of the Venostes, west of the Breuni, east of the Vennones and Calucones. [3]
They are mentioned by Pliny the Elder as one of the Alpine tribes conquered by Rome in 16–15 BC, and whose name was engraved on the Tropaeum Alpium. [1]
