Gallic tribe

A Gallic tribe was a group of people living in what is now France and parts of surrounding countries during ancient times, before the Roman Empire expanded into the region. These tribes were independent communities with their own customs, leaders, and territories, often sharing language and culture related to the broader Celtic tradition. They played significant roles in historical events, such as resisting Roman conquest and participating in regional alliances. Understanding Gallic tribes helps explain the diverse cultural roots of modern France and the history of early European societies.
