This map looks better to me. (Click to see it full-size.) What do others think? --Wetman 20:23, 9 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

I agree! Fennessy 00:47, 25 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

It isn't perfect, but then it is really hard to find a good map on this topic without getting into large sizes. I'll keep my eyes open for one and will leave this unless I find one.Dave (talk) 02:31, 16 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

I don't blame you old chap but my experience with the Wikifuzz suggests they prefer a single tag at the top or near it - less messy. However, you got it this way so let's leave it. It makes no difference, it needs a rewrite. Some of the items you tagged happen to be true, but that makes no difference either; it still need sources. I can work on it in small bits at a time so don't get impatient if they don't all vanish at once.Dave (talk) 02:31, 16 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Deleted unhistorical claim that Crixus was an Allobroge

Latest comment: 6 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

There is no evidence to back up the (unreferenced) claim that "Crixus, the chief lieutenant of Spartacus during the Third Servile War was an Allobrogian Gaul." None of the ancient sources mentioned where he was from or his ethnicity: Florus, (Epitome of Roman History 2.8.3), Orosius, (History Against the Pagans, 5.24), Appian, (The Civil wars, 9.116.17), Sallust (Histories, 3.64) and Livy (Periochae, 96.1).

According to Andrew Breeze (2008) the Gaulish name Crixus is a cognate of the Latin Crispus 'curly-headed one'.(Cricklade and the Britons". Wiltshire Archaeological & Natural History Magazine. Vol. 101. p. 316). However, whilst this may be an indication that Crixus was a Gaul, it by means follow that he was an Allobroge. 020amonra (talk) 10:38, 27 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
