(350969) Boiohaemum Main-belt Asteroid

Discovered on 27 February 2003 by KLENOT at Klet.

Boiohaemum was the land of the Boii Celtic tribes in Danubian Central Europe around the turn of the Common Era, as mentioned by Strabo and Tacitus. Bohemia derives its name from the ancient land and it is quite likely that Bavaria's name derives from Boii. This is the 1000th Klet discovery.Naming citation (MPC batch dated 2013-07-22), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
