Gallic tribe
The Venisami (Gaulish: *"Uenisamoi") or Venisamores were a Gallic tribe dwelling in the Alps during the Iron Age.
Name.
They are mentioned as "Venisamorum" on the Arch of Susa.
The ethnic name "Venisami" is a latinized form of Gaulish *"Uenisamoi" ( "Uenisamos"). It can be derived from the stem "ueni"- ('family, clan, friends') attached to -"sāmo"- ('calm'), and translated as the 'friendly ones'. It is comparable with the personal names "Uenisamus" (in Cisalpina) and "Uenixama" (in Lepontia).
Geography.
They may have dwelled around Forum Germanici (modern Busca), south of the Binbelli, north of the Epanterii, and east of the Statielli. 
History.
They appear on the Arch of Susa, erected by Cottius in 9–8 BC.
