I am an issatiable history fan, namely Roman history. In reading Julius Caesar's account of his conquests of Gaul I noted that one of the tribes he subgugated was a valiant and fierce people know as the Santones in what is now western France. I also discovered that he had rewarded his troop with many kinds of booty from their conquests, one of which was to give the vanquished and defeated people to his troops as slaves. These slaves were considered to be a handsome reward by the Legionares and could easily be converted into cash. Many Gauls were given into slavery and became the property of these Roman soldiers.
My wifes family originally hails from the Campobasso and Castopigniano area in the province of Molise in Italy. Their family name just happens to be "Santone".
I believe that the "Campo" in Campobosso and the "Castra" (meaning camp in Latin) in Castropigniano both refer to some sort of Roman military encampments in that area. OK, it's a long long shot, but could it be that some of these people from Gaul could have been brought back from their homeland as by these very same Legionares and evertually went on to establish themselves with this surname (Santone)in this particular area of Italy???
Does anyone out there have any creditable evidence to either prove or disprove my suspiction. Please let me know.
