The Gallic magistrate named uergobretus is described by Caesar as a 'summus magistratus' with a 'regia potestas'. The theory here proposed is that this magistracy is not an outcome of the Roman influence on Gallic institutions, but rather descends from a 'supreme king' of Celtic and Indo-European origin, and that the etymology of the title should be reconstructed as *(s)uper-ḱom-reǵ-to-.File in questo prodotto:
