Atuatuca
Atuatuca (or Aduatuca) was the name of one or more fortified settlements in the region between the Scheldt and Rhine rivers, during the "Gallic wars" of Julius Caesar. The word itself possibly meant "fortress". The pronunciation "Atuatuca" with a "t" is considered to be the original, despite many Latin documents using a "d". The modern city of Tongeren, referred to as Aduatuca Tungrorum in later Roman imperial times, is at least one of these places, and if there were more places with this same name they were all in the same general region to the north of the Ardennes, and in or near eastern Belgium. At the time, this region was inhabited mainly by the Eburones.
Discussion about possible Atuatucas that are not Tongeren
Apart from later mentions of this placename which clearly refer to Tongeren, Caesar's commentaries on his wars in Gaul are the only surviving source of information. His first mention of "Aduatuca" by name, during discussion of his suppression of an Eburone rebellion, and subsequent involvement by Sigambri from Germany, says that it "is the name of a fort. [Id castelli nomen est. This could also mean it is the name for a fort.] This is nearly in the middle of the Eburones, where Titurius and Aurunculeius had been quartered for the purpose of wintering." He was referring to earlier sections of the commentaries where Q. Titurius Sabinus and L. Aurunculeius Cotta where slain during the start of this rebellion of the Eburones. These two lieutenants of Caesar had been ordered to winter amongst the Eburones after a drought year, which was a cause of the rebellion, although Aduatuca had not been named in the earlier discussion.

You heard what I said (yes sir yes sir!)
You heard what I said (yes sir yes sir!)
I said you heard what I said (yes sir yes sir!)
You heard what I said (yes sir yes sir!)
[Verse 1: White Dawg]
Run game, slang cane, Broward playas mane
Feel my pain, hit a switch come bouncin' mane
Slow grains, like Dre money fuck fame
Playing with a pistol while she like into my picture frame
Lay em down, don't fuck around come with it
When I hit it, bounce that ass and shake them fucking titties
Come with it, when I spit it, represent the city
Sold a rhyme for every dime, call me Frank Nitty
[Verse 2: Dozia Slim]
Open up a can of whoop ass on yo bitch ass
Wanna fuck a thug bitch, give me head and cash
If the river runs dry ho, listen up
Call me back when that trick money stacks up
Got these medals on my chest from this pimp game
Steady bitchin' brains with these Broward playas mane
The pimp laws say you don't wanna cross
And if your contract is canceled bitch, it still ain't no loss
