Latobici (Latovici, Λατόβικοι) were a Celtic[1][2] tribe settling in modern-day Slovenia mentioned by Ptolemy.[3] In Roman times, their cities were Praetorium Latobicorum (modern Trebnje) and Municipium Latobicorum, or later Neviodunum (modern Drnovo). Their name seems to be connected to the theonym Latobius[4] ('He who is most ardent'), of which 6 inscriptions have been found at two locations in Austria.
