[edit] Cloack
Is it of Gaulish or of Oriental origin?--Kwame Nkrumah 16:09, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
- Gaulic. Aaрон Кинни (t) 06:17, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
LOL! it's aramaic of origin (His family was oriental/Syrian). If you have any sources mentionning it is of Gualic origin, prove it.
The cloak is actually Gallic: see Aurelius Victor's Epitome de Caesaribus 21: "At cum e Gallia vestem plurimam devexisset talaresque caracallas fecisset coegissetque plebem ad se salutandum indutam talibus introire, de nomine huiusce vestis Caracalla cognominatus est." Also check out Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities: http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/secondary/SMIGRA*/Caracalla.html
[edit] Caracalla, the dancers!
I was just checking if Wikipedia has any information about Caracalla, the most famous Lebanese dance group, when I found out that Caracalla is actually a Roman emperor! In fact, the Lebanese group is called after Abdel-Halim Caracalla, the founder. Isn't it a proof that the emperor was of a Syrian origin? :)
