Props:
a bit pricy....HELMS
"These helms
(I had the photos up, but they won't stay put) have been found in
arms collections, illustrated in manuscripts and tapestries. They
range from Rome to the 17th century. Our helms are individually
hand made, fully functional, no two are exactly alike and they can
be worn or used in your own arms collection." (right off the
site...worth a look, some are priceless; I mean, they look
good...) http://www.by-the-sword.com/helms.html
A
Lesson Learned: This website includes incorrect information. Can
you spot it?
from
"Roman Marseilles", a section called "The Romans
and Gaul": http://www.interlog.com/~gilgames/massilia.htm
"The
expansionistic Roman Republic took over the southern portion of
Gaul when it absorbed the rag-tag remains of the classical Greek
world and the rest of the Mediterranean region. The southern third
of Gaul became the Roman Republic province of Gallia (Gaul)
Narbonensis. It got this name from a Roman, Narbo Martius, who
lent his name to a city further west along the coast from Massilia.
The name is remembered down through French history as "Narbonne". Before
the conquest of Gaul and the last of the mainland Celts by Julius
Caesar in 58-50 B.C., just before the fall of the Republic, Gaul
was divided into three sections. The two northern parts were
Celtic, inhabited by numberless independent tribes. The southern
third was popularly called "Provincia", or "The
Province". This was short for "the Roman Province (of
Gaul)", as opposed to the Celtic provinces . Of course, the
Roman province's population was largely Celtic in origin, even if
they were highly assimilated. The area is still called "Provence"
today..."

Asterix
-
Site
officiel d'Asterix: the Les
Romains et Les
Gaulois!
-
"Vercingétorix
was defeated, captured, and taken to Rome in a cage. But
his heroism lives on in French culture through the cartoon
character Astérix the Gaul,
the most popular of characters. Astérix is
generally engaged in a comedy of errors hunting sangliers (wild
boars) with his friend Obélix and fighting Romans.
It is also interesting to note that the first French satellite
was also named Astérix." (from this
tourist website, which also encourages a visit to the theme park
Parc
Asterix)
