Sur la forme gauloise canecosedlon

Abstract

The paper deals with signification and etymology of the Gaulish form canecosedlon in the commemoration of public works RIG L-10. The lexeme is a compound. Its second element -sedlon refers to a kind of ‘seat, chair’. In the archaeological context of Autun, built after Mediterranean models, the lexeme presumably points to an ‘exedra’. The first element caneco- probably refers to the ornaments of the exedra.
