Early Greek accounts of the Celts were somewhat neutral and curious, and little attention was given to the strange peoples living on the northern extremity of the Greek world. The Greeks were eager colonizers, and Greek communities had sprung up in Asia Minor, North Africa, and Western Europe by the 7th century BCE. Massalia (which eventually becam...
Ancient authors are unanimous in describing the unrest which afflicted Western and Central Europe in the late 4th and early 3rd century BCE. Overpopulation and a scarcity of resources are given as the reason for this deprivation, and archaeological evidence indicates that the population of Europe had begun to boom at this time. The lack of resource...
The Roman historian Livy (59 BCE - 17 CE) claims that Celtic tribes from Gaulhad begun settling south of the Alps by 600 BCE. It is likely that the earliest excursions into Italy were made by smaller groups, and this rapidly spiralled into a massive exodus of Gallic tribes south in the 5th and 4th centuries BCE. Groups of Celts settled in Cisalpine...
The sudden death of Alexander the Great in 323 BCE left his massive empirewithout a clear leader, and a series of wars between Alexander's successors ensued. Realizing that the Greeks were particularly vulnerable, several Celtic chieftains took the opportunity to launch an invasion of the Balkans and the Mediterranean. Celtic tribes moved into Thra...
The conquests of Philip II and Alexander the Great, and the subsequent Wars of the Diadochi left Greece so weakened that there seemed to be nothing to stop the Celts when they entered Greece in 279 BCE, led by their king Brennus (apparently known by the same name as the man who sacked Rome in 390 BCE). The Greek city-states and kingdoms were all de...
After the catastrophic defeat of Brennus, the now leaderless Celts were in no condition to fight. The wounded or slow were left to die by their fleeing comrades, who were pursued and picked off by the Greeks and unable to pillage supplies from the countryside. The remaining Celtic tribes who had entered Greece were forced to flee further east, into...
Jan 25, 2017 · In 60 Celtic Queen Boudicca, of the Iceni, led a revolt against Roman rule, in part spurred by a Roman attack on an important Druid sanctuary on Anglesey. Boudicca’s forces wiped out several Roman settlements and troops before being crushed, with an estimated 80,000 killed.
The most important and eloquent examples of pre-Roman Celtic sanctuaries, however, date from the third to the first centuries bc and are found in modern-day France in an area stretching from the Ardennes to Picardy and from the Champagne and Ile-de-France regions as far as Normandy.
