extended rather<BR>
far south. Perhaps as far as Verona? From the map I
see that it is <BR>
approx. 150 kilometers from Bozen to Verona. And so I
think the <BR>
discussion might be much clarified if one specifies
where one<BR>
envisions the old 5th century language borders, as
well as what<BR>
areas that were then conceived of as  Bayern and
Lombardia.<BR>
Raetia it also said. That was the old name of Baiern,
before<BR>
the Bavarians came.<BR>

Re: I'm sorry but here I've got to correct you, Milano
is in fact an old "celto-roman city", it was called
Mediolanum and was founded by the romans on a place
where there were/had been some celtic settlements.


Yours Sincerely.
Leonardo.
