Celt appeal This article discusses ancestral Celts in Scotland and the rest of the world. The Celtic race once dominated Europe until being decimated by the Roman legions in the second century B.C. Nearly extinct, the Celts clung to the fringes of European society, and are now commanding attention as one of the new century's "seductive identities." O’Neill, T. (2006). Celt Appeal.

Celtic Europe The lands occupied by Celtic peoples, whose existence can be traced over more than 25 centuries, were vast. Celts occupied land in modern day Eastern Europe, Greece, Spain, Northern Italy, Western Europe, England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. The Celtic people have mystified anthropologists and historians for generations. Denault, L. T. (2003). Celtic Europe. Retrieved 5 June 2020, from http://www.watson.org/~leigh/celts.html.
Celts The ancient Celts were various population groups living in several parts of Europe north of the Mediterranean region from the Late Bronze Age onwards. Given the name Celt by ancient writers, these tribes often migrated and so eventually occupied territories from Portugal to Turkey. Although diverse tribes the ancient Celts spoke the same language and maintained the same artistic tradition which is characterised by the use of idiosyncratic flowing lines and forms. Celtic languages are still spoken today in parts of the British Isles and northern France. Cartwright, M. (2016). Celts. Retrieved from https://www.ancient.eu/celt/

The beginnings of Celtic history The period from the Greek geographers and historians first mention of the Celts by name until the political decline of the continental Celts, as the result of the expansion of the Roman empire and germanic pressure, spans the last 6 ceturies B.C.

Farming in Celtic Britain The people of Britain began farming about 5,000 years ago during the Neolithic period (New Stone Age). The Bronze and Iron Ages witnessed a number of advances in farming. Iron Age Celtic Britain consisted almost exclusively of settled farming communities who tended their crops and livestock. www.roman.britain.co.uk. (n.d.). Farming in Celtic Britain.

Celtic settlements of southeast Europe From their new bases in northern Illyria and Pannonia, the Gallic invasions climaxed in the early 3rd century BC, with the invasion of Greece. The 279 BC invasion of Greece proper was preceded by a series of other military campaigns waged in the southern Balkans and against the kingdom of Macedonia, favoured by the state of confusion ensuing from the disputed succession after Alexander the Great's death. A part of the invasion crossed over to Anatolia and eventually settled in the area that came to be named after them, Galatia. Celtic settlements of Southeast Europe. (2020).
