Cowboypoet, I thought the Latin for "barbarian" was "homo indomitabilis" (sp?). Literally, "unsubmissive man", which says a lot about how the Romans viewed the rest of the world! Both may be the case, though.

Incidentally, there's a "Barbary coast", where the ppl were (in the Middle Ages) famed for being ferocious pirates - is this any link to the word "barbarian"? IIRC this is somewhere in Spain.

Grab.
