[edit] Name

English uses Latin form in the absence of an English form, hence "Vaccaei" and not "Vacceos" (Sp). The Jackal God 23:51, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Vacceos invictos a nulla gente obtentos. Idem et Vascones quasi Vaccones, C in S littera demutata. So saith Isidore of Seville. Srnec 02:22, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

-os latin accusative plural of the 2nd declension. (in modern english, we use the nominative forms, the rest have long since all but disappeared. The Jackal God 21:21, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lots of errors in this article

Lots of errors in this article:

"Pincia" (or the better term "Pintia") is NOT modern-day Valladolid, but modern-day Padilla de Duero, a small village 53 Km. to the east of Valladolid.
The map shown doesn't correspond to the Vaccean territory at all, but with Vettones' one.
The Vaccaei and their territory have no relation, present or past, with Portugal, so, why is this article part of the "WikiProject Portugal"?

I'd like to make the corrections myself, but I'm afraid my level of English language is not good enough. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.125.114.116 (talk • contribs)
