Boiorix

a chieftain of the the Boii, who in B. C. 194, together with his two brothers, excited his countrymen to revolt from the Romans, and fought an indecisive battle with Tib. Sempronius, the consul, who had advanced into his territory. The Boii continued to give the Romans trouble for several successive years, till their reduction by Scipio in B. C. 191; but of Boiorix himself we find no further mention in Livy. (Liv. 34.46, 47, 56, 35.4, 5, 40, 36.38, 39.)
