In the Name of the People: Angola's Forgotten Massacre

Product Information

The Parisi share their name with the people who lived in France around what is today Paris although whether both tribes shared strong links is hotly debated.

Centred in Dorset, this people were also found in southern parts of Wiltshire and Somerset and western Dorset. Archaeologically, the territory of the Votadini was very different to that of either the Venicones or the Novantae.

The Corieltauvi combined groups of people living in what is today most of the East Midlands (Lincolnshire. Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Northamptonshire). After the Roman Conquest, the Brigantes were formed into a very large civitates, or administrative unit that covered most of Yorkshire, Cleveland, Durham and Lancashire.

Their first known king was Tasciovanus, who is known from the coins he minted with his name on them. Although defeated and occupied by the early 60's, their bitter resistance may explain the late grant of self governing civitas status to them only in the early 2nd century.If you're a prospective parent, you might be wondering whether to plump for a common, popular name, perhaps enhancing your children's popularity and likeability in the process, or whether to give them an original moniker, helping them to feel special and act more creatively.
