Ancient Celtic History

Ancient Celtic history refers to the development of the Celtic people, who emerged in Iron Age Europe around 800 BCE. They were known for their distinct languages, art, and social structures, living in tribal societies across regions like modern-day Ireland, Britain, France, and central Europe. The Celts had rich oral traditions and were skilled in metalwork. By the time of the Roman expansion, they faced invasions and cultural changes, leading to significant decline in their autonomy. Despite this, Celtic culture has endured, influencing modern identities and languages in many regions today.
