Nagnatae Regions with significant populations Northern Connacht Languages Gaelic The Nagnatae (Ναγναται) or Magnatae (Μαγναται) were a people of ancient Ireland, recorded in Ptolemy's 2nd century Geography as living in northern Connacht. Ptolemy also records a town, Nagnata (Ναγνατα) or Magnata (Μαγνατα), in their territory, between the mouths of the rivers Ravius (Ῥαουιος), thought to be the Roe, and Libnius (Λιβνιος), thought to the Erne.[1][2] O'Rahilly suggests a connection between the Nagnatae and the Fir Ól nÉcmacht, a people of early Connacht, assuming a degree of corruption in the transmission of both names.[3]
