Romans in Gaul - How to call them?

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

Hi,

in my current campaign as Makedonia I have (nearly) conquered the Italian peninsula. The problem is, in several decades of war, the Romans have conquered all of Gaul. I have no Gallic factions left to replace them, and the Casse doesn't seem so appropiate to me. Also, stirring up a revolt doesn't seem to work. So I'm thinking of a faction called "Romanized Gauls", or "Gallic Romans".

How would they be called, either in Latin or in Greek?

Kelto-Romaioi? Don't know at all, but hellenized Celts are named Kelto-hellenikoi in eb :P
Or maybe Imperium Galliarum?

Gallo-roman ?

[Pontius Pilate]

Gallo-roman ?

yeah that sounds good. Gallo-Romaioi.

FYI, the words "Gallic" and "Celtic" are related. The name "Galatian" proves this.

Latin: Galloromani, Celtoromani

Greek: Galloromaioi, Keltoromaioi

in BI they have romano-british. Call them romano-celtic.

FRENCH!! jk

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.

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

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.
