Meaning what this word: Celtic. Gaul, Galata, Gaulisc
#23
hmmm the Roman word Gallus means "a Gaul", the word gallus "a cock". pretty sure the Romans had some weird jokes about that.


Like in this part from Caesar's commentaries, which was later crossed out by the author, describing an event taking place immediately after the fall of Alesia:


..."Hey Vercingetorix, who has feathers on his head and likes to stand on a manure heap? Galli, hahahaha" said Caesar, who is not only a great commander but also well known among the soldiers for his good and fine sense of humor...
