“…At that time, only c. 60 inscriptions were known; we now have several hundred more. Other out-dated works on Gaulish which remain regularly cited, but are often criticized for their over-capaciousness are Holder 1896-1913and Whatmough 1970.…”

Gaulish is a language in the Celtic language family, documented in Gaul (France and surrounding territories) from around the 2nd century BC and through the Roman period. This idiom is presented primarily in Greek (Gallo-Greek) and Latin (Gallo-Latin) script, with a small number of Gaulish texts also attested in Etruscan alphabet in Italy (Gallo-Etruscan) and Gaulish names in Iberian script. In this article we detail our knowledge of the linguistic content, context and classification of Gaulish, and consider the epigraphic corpus, naming practices, writing systems and the cultural interactions that shape this material. Finally, we discuss the future challenges for the study of Gaulish and some of the work that is underway which will drive our research in the 21st century.

“…And the veracity of the racial stereotype has been confirmed for both men and women by skeletal remains. 37 ) 34) See Holder (1907: 69-81), Evans (1967: 457-6), and the name-indexes to Whatmough (1970) under uaand uac-. As well as suggesting a person of Celtic origin, the name Vacerra is a meaningful one, consonant with the fecklessness of its bearer as characterised here.…”

Martial 12.32: An Indigent Immigrant?

A When, in Epigrams 12.32, Martial graphically and unsympathetically depicts the eviction of Vacerra and his family from their lodgings for non-payment of rent, he is drawing upon a long-established literary tradition which viewed the penniless as legitimate targets for mockery. Of particular importance as formal models are Catullus' deeply sarcastic attack on the destitution of Furius and his relatives (Catul. 23) and the so-called parva casa motif, which Martial has here refashioned with sardonic intent. The most striking and original feature of the epigram is that, as indicated by a number of ethnically-coloured details, Vacerra and his relatives are depicted as Celts who have taken up residence in Rome: hence one purpose of 12.32 was to express the Schadenfreude and gleeful sense of superiority which Martial, himself of Celtiberian origin, felt towards immigrants who had met with disaster in the metropolis where he had so conspicuously made his mark.

En referencia al onomástico Andossus J. Gorrochategui nos indica, para identificarlo como euskérico, que el grupo -SS-le confiere una originalidad absoluta frente a otro tipo de onomástica 59 • El prefijo And-es muy frecuente en las inscripciones euskoaquitanas y suele relacionarse con el vasco andi 'grande' 60 • La partícula -andi-aparece en la documentación medieval: Ochandiano, Durandiano ... 61 • peas en zonas de predominio cultural celta.…”

Comenzamos este artículo con un repaso a la presencia del euskera en La Rioja y con la exposición de las diferentes interpretaciones que de ella se han dado. Posteriormente, nos centramos en los datos aportados por la onomástica de la epigrafía antigua, estableciendo importantes relaciones entre estos testimonios y los que nos aporta la onomástica euskoaquitana. Terminamos situando, con las lógicas reservas, al euskera en La Rioja prerromana, frente a anteriores teorías que consideraban dicho espacio como totalmente celta y, asimismo, apuntando la más que probable continuidad de esta presencia hasta los albores de la Edad Moderna.
