Interesting follow up to this. I visited the Romano-Gallo museum at Tongeren/Tongres/Civitas Tungrorum (pick your own language and time period) and discovered the museum's opinion that:
'During the reign of Emperor Augustus Gaul is divided into provinces. The 'civitas Tungrorum' belongs to the province of 'Gallia Belgica'. Emperor Domitianus divides Gallia Belgica further. Tongeren and the outlying country becomes part of the province 'Germania inferior'.
No idea as yet what this is based on, but I will talk to the museum this week in an attempt to find out. Thought a few of you might be interested.
And by the way, great museum, well worth a visit.
