Cunliffe's opinion, if accurately reported, seems to me an extreme example of the current archaeological tendency to deny that any migrations have ever occurred. We know from Caesar the Gaulish Atrebates were Belgae, that the Belgae had settled in southern Britain, and that when Caesar was stuck with no cavalry in Britain Commius was able to provide some horsemen from his people. We know from Frontinus that Commius fled to Britain with followers, and we know from numismatics that someone called Commius ruled the Atrebates in Britain in the later first century BC. It's my opinion that all the so-called "tribal" names from this period were names of ruling clans or dynasties and not ethnic groups at all, but it seems to me undeniable from the evidence that Commius had kin in Britain in 55BC, whom he and his followers were later able to join when they left Gaul, and that Commius established himself as their king in the latter half of the 1st century AD. -- Nicknack009 09:40, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
