Caletes

The Caletes or Caleti (Latin: Calētēs or Calētī) were a Gaulish or a Belgic tribe of present-day Normandy. They occupied a section of the coast, between the Sequana and the Phrudis rivers.^[1]

Harfleur (Caracotinum) was their principal port.

This map of Northern Gaul shows the exact position of the Caletes on the southern shore of the English Channel:
