For reference, moving this post from the L21 Cenomani thread to here

Here's a map version that is color coded for same name in different places.  Some of these are simply listed as Cisalpine tribes by Livy, but no location in Italy is given
According to Livy (v. 34), the Bituriges, Arverni, Senones, Aedui, Ambarri, Carnutes, and Aulerci led by Bellovesus, arrived in northern Italy 

I colored coded the Biturges yellow like the Boi, because I'm wondering if there might be a connection between the 2.
They are mentioned as  Bituriges by Caesar (mid-1st c. BC),[2] Bitoúriges oi̔ Kou͂boi (Βιτούριγες οἱ Κοῦβοι) and Koúbois Bitoúrixi (Κούβοις Βιτούριξι) by Strabo (early 1st c. AD),[3] Bituriges ... qui Cubi appellantur by Pliny (1st c. AD),[4] and as Bitoúriges oi̔ Kou͂boi (Βιτούριγες οἱ Κοῦβοι) by Ptolemy (2nd c. AD).[5][6]
According to a legend recounted by Livy, the Bituriges ruled over all of Gaul ca. 600 BC. Faced with overpopulation in their homeland, the Biturigian king Ambigatus sent his sister's sons Bellovesus and Segovesus in search of new territories to settle. Segovesus headed towards the Hercynian Forest, while Bellovesus is said to have led the Gallic invasion of northern Italy.
Hercynian Forest:  an ancient and dense forest that stretched across Western Central Europe, from Northeastern France to the Carpathian Mountains, including most of Southern Germany... Relict tracts of this once-continuous forest exist with many local names... the Bohemian Forest...

May be no connection between the Bituriges and the Boi, but it is interesting that the other nearby tribes in Italy have corresponding locations in Gaul


Note: It’s been pointed out that the above map has a few errors as it relates to some tribal locations.
