| | My speculation is that due to St. Paul's epistle to the Galatians, and his missionary work with them, the Galatians were the first Celtic Christians in the world. | | | The reference to "Celtica" was made by the ancient Denys of Halicarnassus. | | | Some experts express the idea that in more modern times the Germanic peoples adopted the order and regimentation of the Roman organizational systems more readily than the Celtic peoples have. |

| | Caesar was informed by Publius Crassus, whom he had sent with one legion against the Veneti and the other tribes on the Atlantic seaboard - the Venelli (Unelli), Osismi, Coriosolites, Essuvii, Aulerci, and Redones - that all these had been subjected to Roman rule. | | | We can imagine that, with their typical bravado, the Celts believed they would be victorious. | | | Even at that time, it received some criticism. |

| | Spirals, interlacing and key patterns were all borrowed from Celtic metalwork and, in some cases, the affinity with secular artefacts was even closer. | | | Yet for all their holiness, these pioneers had much in common with the warriors of other Celtic myths, as they battled against dragons, tyrants and sorcerers to lay the foundations of their independent nation. | | | According to this theory, the monolith became known as the Stone of Scone, the coronation stone which has long been held in Westminster Abbey. |

| | Following the defeat of the Gallic Chieftain Vercingetorix and his forces at Alesia in 52 BC by the Romans, the Gallo-Begic Celtic tribes began fleeing across the channel in their masses largely to escape Roman retribution, and to found new societies in Britain and Ireland. | | | The amount of Gallo-Belgic E coin hoards that have been found (5 in Norfolk) and at various other locations in the former Iceni territory - would seem to substantiate the theory; that the tribe sent bands of warrior mercenaries across the channel to support the Gallic campaign against the Romans. | | | The ‘Celts’ were a warlike race of people who dominated Europe for 500 years. |

| | It is interesting to note, on the issue of whether the Treverii were celtic or germanic, that there has been no ceramic evidence to point to a germanic relation. | | | The Belgae Confederation is seen more as a hybrid of germanic and celtic groups, possibly a hybrid language as well, but the jury is out on the language: | | | Barry Cunliffe does not discuss the Parisii in his "The Ancient Celts" (1997). |

| | Celtic Tribes |
| | They were traders and acted as middlemen in shipping goods from Britain to the south.In 56 B.C., they rebelled against Caesar but were soundly beaten in a sea battle at Quiberon, and as a result all the leading men executed and the rest sold as slaves. | | | After the migration into Greece had failed, many thousands of Celts poured back into central Europe to find land to settle. | | | The north Italian group suffered under the Roman advance, while those in Bohemia later migrated westward into France, forced out by the Cimbri and Teutons. |

| | Transformations of Celtic Mythology in Arthurian Legend |
| | "Celtic peoples" are defined as those ethnic groups which spoke or speak a derivative of the Celtic branch of the Indo-European language family. | | | And thus, as Roman culture spread through the Celtic lands and Christianity replaced the old beliefs, much of the venerated lore of the tribes was deposited within one central storehouse, a vehicle that has preserved these tales for over a thousand years: the Arthurian legend. | | | Discounting proto-Celtic Bronze Age societies (which nonetheless were probably the direct forerunners of the Celts), the first identifiably Celtic society arose c. |
