Romans in Gaul - How to call them?

[Anastasios Helios]

He's right...that's exactly what the French are today. Mostly descendants of Gauls and Romans...in northern France (except Paris of course...you can find everything there.) you notice that the people look like they may have Gallic origin, and in the south (especially Provence) you see darker, more "Latin" looking people. Of course it's not all inclusive, but for the most part this is true. I'm not so sure if the Franks were more of an ethnic or cultural invasion...probably neither, if i'm correct I think that they just became the ruling caste. Most of the French nobility came from old Frankish warriors and generals.

I think the Franks were Germans.

Good advice here. What about Imperivm Galloromanorvm? If I'm not mistaken, this means Empire (or better "Rule") of the Galloromans / the Romans in Gaul.

Imperivm Galliarvm seems good to me too, but what buggers me a bit there is that Gaul is not so thoroughly romanized yet as it was some 4 1/2 centuries later. Most of the cities there so far still have the Celtic city model / core building. The Romans have been battling the Aedui for decades, but once they were gone, and I gave the Arverni many territories in Northern Italy, this acted like a catalysator and made the Romans go on a blood rush through Gaul in no more than a few years while loosing territory to the Carthaginians in Southern Italy. It was really scary, there could nothing be done for the poor Arverni. They really had a nice empire in Gaul, even occupying eastern Hispania for decades.

Interesting, Centurio. Would you happen to have a pic of your map, I'm curious to see a red Gaul.

Rome in the peak of her power. In the meantime, the Lusotannan conquered Tolosa, and I Mediolanum, Bononia, Roma, Syrakusai and the Baleares from the Phoinikes, Arretium and Capua are under siege. Unfortunately, the "Roman" Senate has moved to Segesta since long.


P.S.: I want a red one.

Where are my beloved Hellenes?

Where are my beloved Hellenes?

The black ones. We are all Hellenes. Or do you mean these unthankful effete southrons? Happily dancing and cheering to salute their generous Makedonian overlords. That means, the ones who survived the measures of revenge, errh, justice, that took place in a) 271 in the massacre of Sparte, b) 270 in the massacre of Athenai, c) 219 in the massacre of Korinthos, d) 218 in the massacre of Thermon, and e) - last but not least - 217 in the Great Bloody Bloodfeast Massacre of Athenai. You might also want to hear that the Akropolis, pride of all Athenians, was severely damaged by the outrageous mob during the rebellion, and never restored, leaving its ruins as a sign to future generations.

Red fits Makedonian black so well.
