Bregenz is located in austria and the brigantier were part of the vindelici, the lake of constance was called lake of brigantinus, so the vindelici were dwelling in the lowlands as well of what today is called vorarlberg, austria —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.208.209.11 (talk) 19:24, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"However, according to a classical source, Servius' commentary on Virgil's Aeneid,[2] the Vindelicians were Liburnians, themselves most probably related to the Veneti.[3][4] (A reference in Virgil[2] seems to refer to the Veneti as Liburnians, namely that the "innermost realm of the Liburnians" must have been the goal at which Antenor is said to have arrived.) Thus, it seems that the ancient Liburnians may have encompassed a wide swath of the Eastern Alps, from Vindelicia, through Noricum, to the Dalmatian coast." - this part is copied to Skadi forum from here [1], I'm shocked. Do you have any expert here to clean up this mess? You are spreading ill definitions. It came from linguist Alfoldy if can I remember well, but was immidiately abandoned by other linguists who spent more time to resolve it - it is in absolute contradiction to archaeological researches so therefore impossible. If you amateurs and myth creators cannot deal with scientific questions, don't do it. Ask experts for help. 78.0.129.153 (talk) 12:31, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Vindeleci were definitely not germanic but belonged to the La Tene culture. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.187.226.1 (talk) 23:22, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Improper synthesis?[edit]

I think that the suggestion that the Vindelici were Veneti appears to be improper synthesis. Certainly, this theory needs better citations. As it is the individual claims aren't all cited, and to avoid misinterpretation of the sources, Wikipedia requires that the chain of claims must also be cited to a specific source. 96.231.17.131 (talk) 20:45, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The citations to Servius and Virgil are primary source citations. Again, it would be helpful to have a secondary source to be sure to avoid misinterpreting Servius or Virgil, especially since Vergil is writing poetry, not history, nor geography. 96.231.17.131 (talk) 20:45, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The other two citations are broen, because we need to distinguish the claim that the Vindelici were Liburnians and that the Liburnians were 'most probably' related to the Veneti. 96.231.17.131 (talk) 20:45, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The final claim that "Thus, it seems that the ancient Liburnians may have encompassed a wide swathe of the Eastern Alps, from Vindelicia, through Noricum, to the Dalmatian coast." has no citation at all. 96.231.17.131 (talk) 20:45, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Map Caption[edit]

The caption of the map says "Alpine tribes and Roman provinces in the Alps around 14 a. Chr.".

What does "a. Chr." mean: "ante Christum", "after Christ"?

If anybody knows, then I suggest replacing it with one of the more common and less ambiguous abbreviations. 211.31.63.48 (talk) 09:39, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
