Talk:Cynetes

message: I removed this: "Some researchers, who claim they have decoded the Conii writing system, believe that these influenced the Romans in their writing and language." and this: "Apparently, before the arrival of the Romans, the Conii were monotheist. This people allied with the Romans, when these wanted to dominate the Iberian Peninsula. Apparently, the god of the Conii was Elohin, following a translation of a stone that can be found today in Évora Museum, but this name seems to be foreign to their language, and is quit possibly a loan from the Phoenicians-Carthaginians." Such  discoveries would make news! It would be rash to judge the monotheism of a people whose writing has not been deciphered. --Wetman 21:28, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I moved this map here as it adds no information to the map already at the site, which illustrates the region of the Cynetes in Antiquity, a region that embraced both the Algarve of southern Portugal and the sw of southern Spain. Additionally, this map gives a misleading impression of Cynetes/Conii restricted to the south of Portugal. The border is medieval/modern and is irrelevant and confusing in a discussion of the Cynetes. I have enlarged the map at the article enough so that the city of Conistorga can just be made out. Someone's feelings are likely to be hurt, but have I explained my action pretty well? --Wetman 20:27, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Many claim that the Coniis were celticized. But what does "to celticize" mean? Is it to make one look more like Celts in the cultural sense? the linguistic sense? the ethnic sense? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.50.182.112 (talk • contribs) 
:I believe that it means that they became culturaly and linguitically like the Celtici, and that they heavely mixed with them. The Ogre 15:00, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Varlaam changed the era of this page from BCE to BC   justifying the change in the edit summery with "The Iberian Peninsula is in Europe".  To Varlaam it seems that this argument is so strong that s/he marked the edit as minor.  The idea that BCE is un-European is new to me.  I am a member of the Institute of Classical Studies (London) and the library was relocated last year.  The staff as part of the move relabeled the shelves as BCE.  I'm sure that people can produce counter examples but the point is that BCE notation is used for this period of history and for European regions.  For wikipedia to use both eras seems to me to be correct and reflects usage outside of wikipedia.  Hence changing the era of this page seems to me to be unwarranted.Dejvid (talk) 13:18, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The convention BC/AD, though not my own personal choice, was introduced in this article as of 14:35, 10 November 2005, in the caption to an illustration. Rather than argue the merits in each case at Wikipedia, we just go with the flow: some articles use BC/AD others BCE/CE. I guess it depends on who got there first. --Wetman (talk) 19:19, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
