"The debate is all Caesar's fault. He was too imprecise in his description of the oppidum of the Parisii. Oh great, it's Caeser's fault. Blame everything on the Italians, the Germans, or the Americans.

Until we find an inscription saying "Id est Lutetia" (This is Lutetia), we will never be able to prove definitively that it lay in Nanterre," Bulard said.
Egads, they even say that about other things.
"Until we find stuff labeled ______(fill in the blank) we will never be sure!"
What if they plot the course of the local rivers at the time of Ceasar's conquest?
What do they find then?
The article says that Nanterre was on a defensible peninsula with a river loop around it.

Look at historical maps of any major river and you will find over the course of hundreds of years that penninsulas become islands, islands become penninsulas, and sites 5 miles inland today were on the riverbank a century ago.

From Procopius of Caesarea, writing in the mid-6th century AD...
"[The Franks] forgot for the moment their oaths and treaties they had made a little before with both the Romans and the Goths (for this nation in matters of trust is the most treacherous in the world), they straightway gathered to the number of one hundred thousand under the leadership of Theudibert, and marched into Italy." [Gothic Wars, VI, xxv]
In 1400 years, things haven't changed much. BTW, this Frankish invasion of Italy ended in an embarassing withdrawal for the Franks, despite their overwhelming numerical superiority. One third of them died of dysentery.
