Tacitus and Germanic idols

[edit]

Edited the section that stated Tacitus contradicted himself, regarding Germanic idols. The original sentence stated he didn't believe they had images of their gods, but then paraded images of Nerthus. In actuality (and this quote states this) he notes that they do not give their gods human countenance. 2601:248:4101:6B40:7C80:9671:C3C1:1CB4 (talk) 18:22, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Title

[edit]

Is this really the best title for this subject? The title is nine words long and several of them are not words found in normal people's vocabulary (anthropomorphic, cultic).--Ermenrich (talk) 00:43, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. Was going to force a page move but am slightly stumped. The title should maybe be "Iron Age wooden cult figures"; the problem is that they are understudied as a group. I may open a page move to attract opinion. Ceoil (talk) 14:35, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
For the record have gone ahead with the move from Anthropomorphic wooden cult figurines of Central and Northern Europe to "Iron Age wooden cult figures". Ceoil (talk) 19:13, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
