Ancient Celtic Geography

Ancient Celtic geography refers to the lands inhabited by the Celtic tribes in Europe, primarily during the Iron Age and early medieval period. This included regions like modern-day Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France, and parts of Central Europe. The Celts were known for their tribal structure, with each tribe often governed by its own chieftain and occupying distinct territories. Their geography was characterized by diverse landscapes, such as mountains, forests, and rivers, which influenced their culture, economy, and trade. Understanding this geography helps illuminate the complex interactions and migrations of the Celtic peoples throughout history.
