The Ancient Celts October 29, 2013

The ancient Celts migrated to Britain and Ireland sometime around the 8th century BC. But they had been known for centuries before this across Central and Western Europe. There were even some Celtic communities in the Near East. Their origins are clouded in some mystery but by the time they reached Central Europe, they were a discreet and powerful force. Their name comes from the Greeks who called them the Keltoi, or other people. Semi-nomadic in nature, they kept moving west towards Gaul (France) and Iberia (Spain and Portugal) before they moved onto Britain and Ireland. They were a creative and war-like people who were feared by their enemies. Eventually, they were subdued and Romanised but they left a legacy that is still part of western civilisation.
