"which today is believed to be about a kilometer westwards (offshore in the North Sea) of the current location of the European Space Research and Technology Centre"

I thought it was believed to be shredded to pieces by the currents after the coast receded? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.78.210.22 (talk) 07:08, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

what is the etymology of Brittenberg? why hasn't it been mentioned?[edit]

an oversight? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:411:1600:71DD:E021:2A72:68F5 (talk) 01:01, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Latin name[edit]

I took out "(Classical Latin: Batavorum Lugdunum)" from the lead sentence. As the article explains below, this place was surely called "Lugdunum" in Latin (a name that it shared with some other places), but "Lugdunum Batavorum" is a modern mistake, not a classical form, because the territory of the Batavi did not cover this locality. As for the word order "Batavorum Lugdunum", that would be very strange in a classical Latin place name. Andrew Dalby 12:17, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I should correct myself: it may be true that the territory of the Batavi included this place. Modern archaeologists seem to say it didn't, but the ancient geographer Claudius Ptolemaeus says it did. None the less, there's no support for a supposed Latin place name "Batavorum Lugdunum". Andrew Dalby 20:52, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
