Please mention that this is the first time when the women rulers are mentioned, and the second time is by Adam from Bremen some 1000 years later. It may very well be the same people.-- 130.237.165.114 08:09, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Tacitus writes: "Upon the Suiones, border the people Sitones; and, agreeing with them in all other things, differ from them in one, that here the sovereignty is exercised by a woman. So notoriously do they degenerate not only from a state of liberty, but even below a state of bondage." http://www.northvegr.org/histories%20and%20chronicles/tacitus%20germania%20in%20english%20and%20latin/005.html 91.155.236.125 ( talk) 01:18, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
To the user 217.112.242.181:
Another Professor Emeritus (other than Julku), Unto Salo, spells the word in question "Sithoni".
Does the reference really make a explicit connection between the Tacitean Sitones and the topographical name of Sigtuna ("Situne"), or is this original research? For a layman it sounds very surprising, as the town of Sigtuna was founded during the 10th century, whole 900 years after Tacitus. Are the "-tuna" names really from the Roman Iron Age? In any case, other etymologies for the name Sitones have been proposed as well.-- 130.234.5.136 14:23, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
