Gallic tribe
The Budenicenses were a small Gallic tribe dwelling in the present-day Gard department, near Nemausos (modern Nîmes), during the Roman period. 
Name.
They are attested as "Budenicenses" on an inscription found in Collias (Gard). A dedication to the god "Mars Budenicus" was also discovered in the same town. The latter is probably a Celtic rendering of "Mars Militaris".
The ethnonym "Budenicenses" derives from the Celtic term *"budīnā", meaning 'troop, host', probably 'troop guarding the frontier' (cf. Old Irish "buiden", Middle Welsh "byddin" 'troop, army'; Late Latin "bodǐna" 'boundary marker' ; French "borne", a loanword from Gaulish).
The town of Bezouce (Gard), attested as "Biducia" in 1146 CE, is named after the Gallic tribe.
