Soissons was the (Roman) capital of all Northern Gaul north of Poitiers and Tours for ten years after the deposure of the last Western Roman Emperor.--T. Mc. 18:09, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

What was J.B.S. Haldane talking about regarding Soissons in the paragraph before this [1] - both regarding the market place and the destruction of the town (in the First World War, I presume)? EdDavies 12:30, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
