“Chewbacca is… a Maoist. Hera Syndulla? A Trotskyist. Ahsoka Tano? A Social Democrat. Ezra Bridger? A Posadist. Lost! All of them, lost. I am the only one with clarity of purpose.”
I think you'll find that.....
No. He’s a Maoist.
"chewbacca is apolitical" is a misconception, he told the interviewer he didnt believe electoralism was a suitable strategy for the current material circumstances but the interviewer was a liberal and misunderstood.
Been reading about the italics before Rome came about , did a little character sheet side by side thing to get down some ideas
I based the Sicani on Polyphemus, in myths the cyclops are said to be in Sicily so he is blind because some Greek came and poked his eye out and since he was a Shepard I made the other two people that inhabited Sicily be sheep (Elymians and Sicels), Elymians are said to have come from some trojans fleeing after the Trojan war, and Sicels are either indigenous or come from somewhere else
The Iapygians came with the Trans-Adriatic migrations from the Balkans (Illyrians)
I made most of South Italy cows or bulls (Oscans and Umbri) based on the fact that the name "Italy" means "inhabitants of the land of calfs"
The Picenes are tricky to pin point ,but they probably are an off shoot of the Sabines , still the north picenes language is a language isolate for some reason?? I need to get it better still, but he is a woodpeckers because of if being a foundation animal for them
I based the Latins on mostly Albalonga , that was the city leading the latin league , she is a white sow based on the foundation myth :
The etruscans are divided into three since it is said they once ruled over all the peninsula and influenced it a lot , based them on the Etruscan Shrew because I found it funny, small creatures mhuahaha
And the Ligurians have a Celtic/Gaulish influence, so he is of course a deer, because I'll make most celts deers
Here's a little graphic to show more or less what I am going for in terms of family tree stuff , I'm basing it on cultures , history and myths :D
(There is a theory that the Sicani originated on the Iberian Peninsula and were pushed away by the Ligurians , that would be pretty neat for me so I can connect it to the myth of Polyphemus and the nymph Galatea creating Celtus, Galas, and Illyrius , but it is all myths , the bronze/iron ages are very very complicated , but it’s fun to connect things )

2,400-Year-Old Sword Found Beside Child in Gaulish Burial
An iron sword discovered beside the remains of a child at an Iron Age settlement in central France is providing archaeologists with rare insight into the social and ritual practices of the Gauls more than 2,400 years ago.
The weapon was uncovered during excavations carried out by the French National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research (Inrap) at the Bois Médor site in Pithiviers, Loiret, where archaeologists investigated a large Gaulish settlement dating to the fifth and fourth centuries BC.
The excavation, conducted in 2010 ahead of a road bypass project, revealed a series of large storage silos that had later been repurposed as rubbish pits. Among them, archaeologists found the remains of six individuals buried in four separate deposits across three silos, many displaying unusual positions and evidence that their bodies had been deliberately manipulated.
One silo contained a multiple burial of three individuals, two of whom had been placed face down. Another held the body of a man whose hands and feet had been bound together, with his head separated from the rest of the skeleton.
The most remarkable discovery came from a third silo dating to the end of the fifth century BC. There, archaeologists uncovered the remains of a child, believed to have been younger than 15, curled against the edge of the pit. The burial included a fibula, possible fragments of a shield and an iron sword enclosed within its scabbard.
The sword had been placed beside the child’s legs rather than worn, prompting researchers to question its significance. They suggest the burial may represent a very young warrior or a child destined for that role.
Although the sword is of a standard form and size, it is among the oldest examples discovered in the Loiret department. Its undecorated scabbard is particularly unusual, as sword scabbards from the early Late Iron Age were typically ornamented.
The find has raised several unanswered questions. Archaeologists are investigating whether the plain scabbard and the absence of other weapons reflect the child’s young age and an incomplete martial education, or whether the sword served a symbolic rather than practical purpose.
Burials of young individuals accompanied by weapons are exceptionally rare, even in formal Iron Age cemeteries. The combination of a child’s remains, military equipment and an unconventional burial within a former storage silo makes the Pithiviers discovery one of the most unusual examples known from the period.
The discovery forms part of Inrap’s scientific and cultural season dedicated to Iron Age Gaul, highlighting archaeological finds that continue to reshape understanding of Celtic societies in pre-Roman France.
