Talk:Gobannus

Move from Gobannus to Gobanos?

I have a few reasons for suggesting a move to Gobanos. First, our two instances resembling Gobannus are two inscriptions written COBANNO with an initial C and a normal first-declension dative singular. Now, it's become customary for many English writers to restore a first declension Gaulish nominative in -os rather than its Latin counterpart in -us. Furthermore, the Berne zinc tablet gives us the equivalent of a G in the form of Γ. Finally, the Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies reconstructs the proto-Celtic word for 'smith' as “ *goban- (?) ”, with a long or short a that I can't find a Unicode character for at the moment. In other words, they seem to lean towards a single n as well. Not a huge deal, but what do people think? QuartierLatin1968 17:45, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

makes sense. the question is, do we want articles titled after reconstructed names (see also Talk:Wōdanaz). Gobanos should in any case be a redirect at least. I suppose the Proto-Celtic (or early Gaulish; 400 BC?) god was called Gobanos, the Gallo-Roman one (AD 200?) Gobannus. dab (ᛏ) 06:40, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

I concur with the reasoning above, better to move to Gobanos and the redirect Cobannus to it --Nantonos 23:27, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Illegal

"a bronze cauldron dedicated to Deus Cobannos, in the late 1980s and illegally exported to the USA" says the article, but the footnote refers to an inscription on a tablet: CA.Malibu.JPGM.L.96.AB.54. Perhaps in the enthusiasm of tarring the Getty with the "illegal" part, the actual object got lost?--Wetman (talk) 22:48, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

This statue was found in 1977 in CUAN near NEVERS (France) by M. COLAS by night... Yes, it's illegal and without the "GETTY trafic" this statue still stay in France... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.100.205.189 (talk) 20:02, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Bern as Brenodor?

I know that the official reason for the Bern's name is that almost mythlogical story with the "bear", but, is it me or the name Brenodor sounds like Bern? Maybe is in fact the ancient name of the city! Bigshotnews 17:19, 11 October 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bigshotnews (talk • contribs)
