Quote:what about the Tongrecani? Where are they from?
Tongres, surely? ;-)
(The earlier Roman Aduatuca Tungrorum or Tongrorum had probably already changed to the later Tongri, named after the pagus as with several other cities the west. Several of the other legiones palatina listed in the ND are named after places or areas - Divitenses after Castrum Divitia, Moesiaci etc. Tongrecani were probably the same.)
