Etymology

Does that name mean "battle wolf"? Does anybody have an etymological Gaulish dictionary where they could check? Trigaranus (talk) 18:59, 2 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

The Death of Catuvolcus

Latest comment: 2 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

In researching this article, the sources I read were inconsistent on whether or not Catuvolcus committed suicide by hanging himself from a yew tree or poisoning himself with extract from a yew tree. I even checked translations of Caesar's writings and found them inconsistent. Lacking a clear answer, I presented both as possibilities but I would much appreciate it if someone could find something more conclusive. Shotwells (talk) 22:27, 9 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
