Gaulish inscriptions

Gaulish inscriptions are writings from ancient Gaul (modern France and surrounding areas) engraved on artifacts like stone, metal, or ceramics, dating from roughly 3rd century BCE to 5th century CE. Written in the Gaulish language, part of the Celtic language family, these inscriptions provide insights into the culture, religious practices, personal names, and social structures of Celtic tribes. They are valuable archaeological sources that help researchers understand how the Gauls communicated, honored deities, marked possessions, or memorialized individuals. These inscriptions are often brief and context-specific, offering a glimpse into everyday life and beliefs of ancient Celtic societies.
