"And what significance does it have to this discussion anyway?"
It was a fairly direct response to a question posed in post 1242;
"would the place soon become "taboo", "cursed"? A pilgrimage site? Forgotten?"
merely pointing out a new reference by a third party concerning the issue of memorialisation and one of the candidate sites. Seems to have some significance to this discussion to me. It could have stopped there but the critiques demanded a response.
I think Rens Cod piece was a pretty monolithic response to the subtleties of the Roman era names piece, not really a very discursive response from our latinistas.
I had certainly never questioned 'Iaciodulma' being Lactodurum but the discussion has chipped away at that certainty so between the Cod and Chips I think the earlier assumptions regarding Toaster are starting to look a little mushy.
