One thing puzzles me: Aduatuca was the centre of an enclave of
Cimbrians that were left behind as a stronghold in their migrations.
Tongeren/Tongres is the city of the Tungri (= Thuringians?), those
people that the Romans at first thought were Germani. Why pick the
same city? What affinity did these peoples have for each other?
