Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Boii shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Boii offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Boii at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Boii? Wrong! If the Boii is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Boii then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Boii? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Boii and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Boii wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Boii then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Boii site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Boii, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Boii, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

Boii (Latin plural, singular Boius; Greek Βοιοι) is the Ancient Rome name of an ancient Celtic tribes, attested at various times in Transalpine Gaul (modern France) and Cisalpine Gaul (northern Italy), as well as in Pannonia (today Western Hungary), Bohemia, Moravia and western Slovakia.

Etymology and name There is no commonly accepted etymology for the name Boii. It might be explained either as a Celtic term for "warriors", or as "cattle owners" (from IE *gwowjeh³s)Birkhan, Helmut: "Die Kelten", Wien, 1997, S. 99. Contemporary derived words include Boiorix (king of the Boii, one of the chieftains of the Cimbri) and Boiodurum (gate/fort of the Boii, modern Passau) in Germany.

Their memory also survives in the modern regional names of Bohemia (Germanic form found in a Roman source Boio-haemum = home of the Boii), and 'Bayern', Bavaria, which is derived from the Germanic peoples Baioarii tribe (Germ. *baio-warioz: the first component is most plausibly explained as a Germanic version of Boii; the second part is a common formational morpheme of Germanic tribal names, meaning 'dwellers', as in Anglo-Saxon language -ware)Indoeuropean short o, as in the Celtic Boii, developed to a in Germanic. As far as its formation is concerned, the name seems to be a hybrid between Celtic or Latin and Germanic, as the thematic vowel bai-o'- would have to be an a in a Germanic compound (cf. Celtic ambio-rix vs. Germanic þiuda-reiks, "Theoderic"). This, however, should not be used as an argument against the 'traditional' etymology, as such forms are quite common (cf. Raetovarii, an Allemanic tribe) and are most likely influenced by the Latin background of the ancient writers.; this combination "Boii-dwellers" may have meant "those who dwell where the Boii formerly dwelt".

Modern misconceptions Despite the derivation of the name, the ancient Boii should neither be confused with the present-day inhabitants of Bavaria in Germany, nor those of Bohemia in the Czech Republic.

The claim that family names such as "Boyer, Bowyer, Baier, and Boiar (among other variants throughout history) reflect descent from the Boii"This claim has been repeatedly published within this article, and has subsequently been removed to the above section on Modern misconceptions., as to some degree stated on the following webpage , is historically unsustainable as there is not the slightest evidence in favour of any kind of continuity of family names between Antiquity and the Late Middle Ages . Modern French, English, or German family names do not normally date back to a time before the High Middle Ages.The names in questions are much more convincingly explained as "cow-herder" (Boyer < bouvier), "bow-maker" (Bowyer - parallel formation to "lawyer"), and "person from Bavaria" (Baier/Bayer). Feeble phonological parallels do not automatically prove etymological descent, even less so genetic.

History According to the classical authors, the Boii crossed Poeninus mons (the Great St Bernard Pass) and settled in the Po River plain, where they subjugated the local Etruscan civilization.For the following, cf. Polybius 2,17,7; Strabo 4,195/5,216, and Livy 33,37.37.57 Other Celtic tribes, among them the Insubres, Cenomani (Cisalpine Gaul), Lingones and Senones had also settled in Northern Italy, some of them, such as the Lepontii, since pre-historic times. The Boii occupied the old Etruscan settlement of Felsina#History and renamed it Bononia (Bologna). Archeological remains of their culture have been found at various sites, among others at Felsina, but also at Monte Bibele. Settlement forms as well as grave goods indicate a peaceful coexistence and probably intermarriage of Celtic and Etruscan populations.James, Simon: "Das Zeitalter der Kelten", Dusseldorf, 1996, pp 34f. (German) The English original is titled "Exploring the World of the Celts", Thames&Hudson, London, 1993, without page


In the second half of the 3rd century BC, the Boii allied with the other Cisalpine Gauls and the Etruscans against Rome. They also fought alongside Hannibal, killing the Roman general Lucius Postumius Albinus (consul 234 and 229 BC), whose skull was then turned into a sacrificial bowl (Liv. XXIII, 24). A short time thereafter, they were defeated at Battle of Telamon (224 BC) in 224 BC and eventually in 193 BC near Mutina (modern Modena). After the loss of their capital, a large portion of the Boii left Italy. Contrary to the interpretation of the classical writers, the Pannonian Boii attested in later sources are not simply the remnants of those who had fled from Italy, but rather another division of the tribe, which had settled there much earlier. The burial rites of the Italian Boii show many similarities with contemporary Bohemia, such as inhumation, which was uncommon with the other Cisalpine Gauls, or the absence of the typically western Celtic torcs.Cunliffe, Barry: "The Ancient Celts", Penguin Books 1999, pp. 72f. This makes it much more likely that the Cisalpine Boii had actually originated from Bohemia rather than the other way round.Birkhan, p. 124 Having migrated to Italy from north of the Alps, some of the defeated Celts simply moved back to their kinsfolk.Other tribes of whom divisions are attested both in the 'Celtic homeland' and at the periphery include the Senones (Umbria and the Marne region), Lingones (Aemilia and the Langres plateau), Cenomani (Venetia and Maine), Tectosages (Galatia and Provence).


The Pannonian Boii are mentioned again in the late 2nd century bc when they repelled the Cimbri and Teutones (Strabo VII, 2, 2). Later on, they attacked the city of Noreia (in modern Austria) shortly before a group of Boii (32,000 according to Julius Caesar - the number is probably an exaggeration) joined the Helvetii in their attempt to settle in western Gaul. After the Helvetian defeat at Bibracte, the influential Aedui tribe allowed the Boii survivors to settle on their territory, where they occupied the oppidum of Gorgobina. Although attacked by Vercingetorix during one phase of the war, they supported him with 2.000 troops at the battle of Alesia (Caes. Bell. Gall., VII, 75).

Again, other parts of the Boii had remained closer to their traditional home, and settled in the Hungary by the Danube and the Mur, with a centre at Bratislava. Around 40 BC they clashed with the rising power of the Dacians under their king Burebista and were defeated. When the Romans finally conquered Pannonia in 8 AD, the Boii seem not to have opposed them. Their former territory was now called deserta Boiorum (deserta meaning 'empty or sparsely populated lands').Birkhan, p. 251. However, the Boii had not been exterminated: There was a civitas Boiorum et Azaliorum (the Azalii being a neighbouring tribe) which was under the jurisdiction of a prefect of the Danube shore (praefectus ripae Danuvii).CIL IX 5363) This civitas, a common Roman administrative term designating both a city and the tribal district around it, was later adjoined to the city of Carnuntum.

References in ancient written sources Sometime between 205 BC and 184 BC, T. Maccius Plautus refers to the Boii in his work, Captivi: At nunc Siculus non est, Boius est, Boiam terit But now he is not a Sicily — he is a Boian, he has got a Boian woman. (There is a play on words: Boia means "woman of the Boii", also "convicted criminal's restraint collar".)

In volume 21 of his work Ab Urbe Condita (book), Livy (59 BC - 17 AD) claims that it was a Boian man that offered to show Hannibal Barca the way across the Alps. When, after the action had thus occurred, his own men returned to each general, Publius Cornelius Scipio could adopt no fixed plan of proceeding, except that he should form his measures from the plans and undertakings of the enemy: and Hannibal, uncertain whether he should pursue the march he had commenced into Italy, or fight with the Roman army which had first presented itself, the arrival of ambassadors from the Boii, and of a petty prince called Magalus, diverted from an immediate engagement; who, declaring that they would be the guides of his journey and the companions of his dangers, gave it as their opinion, that Italy ought to be attacked with the entire force of the war, his strength having been nowhere previously impaired.

In the 1st century BC, the Boii living in an enclosed oppidum of Bratislava (Slovakia) minted Biatecs, high-quality coins with inscriptions (probably the names of kings) in Latin letters. This is the only "written source" provided by the Boii themselves.
