Migration and Expansion

Migration and expansion in ancient Celtic history refer to the movement of Celtic tribes across Europe from around 1200 BCE to 500 CE. Originating in Central Europe, these tribes spread into present-day Ireland, Britain, France, and beyond. They settled in various regions, establishing distinct cultures and societies influenced by their beliefs and practices. This expansion facilitated trade, cultural exchange, and conflict with other groups, contributing to the Celts' unique identity. Their legacy includes language, art, and social structures that have influenced European history even after their power diminished.
