Alex, where does the name Marcomir come from, and how is it related to
the Cimmerians? And what evidence is their that the term Kimmeroi
referred to all/any Nordic peoples? Didn't it specifically referr to the
Cimmerians/Gimmeri North of the Black sea? Do we even know from graves
or skeletal remains whether they were Nordic or not?

Or do you think that they could have been a grouping of several
linguistic/ethnic peoples?
And what do you mean by the connection of Celtic "Marco" with Dacian
"Marcodava"?

Would love to know- Michael
