Veneti

The Veneti were an ancient Celtic tribe inhabiting the region now known as Brittany in northwestern France, during the Iron Age and Roman period. Renowned for their seafaring skills, they built sturdy ships and engaged in trade and warfare across the Atlantic and Mediterranean. Historically, they resisted Roman conquest longer than many neighboring tribes, notably opposing Julius Caesar's campaigns. The Veneti's maritime expertise and cultural identity contributed to the development of Brittany's distinct regional heritage. Their legacy reflects a significant Celtic presence in Western Europe and highlights their role in ancient maritime commerce and resistance.
