Veneti

We have decided to provide our users with an easy-to-use set of links to our prior Veneti entries.  We divide them with reference to the five different Venetic groups (Sarmatian, Paphlagonian, Gallic, Adriatic and Illyrian) though, since even of old scholars speculated about their common origins, plenty of cross-references exist between them.  Here they are:
