| The following extract from Wikipedia argues against PeterH's, politically suspect, and simplistic views.... >This is somewhat misleading, however, since the Romans and Greeks did describe the Atlantic and continental Celts as being related to each other, having military alliances (and rivalries) with one another, sharing similar languages and traditions, as well as having a common religion and priest class. Additionally, archeological evidence shows quite clearly that the Atlantic and continental Celts were engaged in commerce with each other via regular trade routes. No one on either side of the debate argues that Celtic people have ever been a single homogenous political or social unit, but to argue that the Atlantic Celts were not Celts at all simply because hostile Romans never described them as such betrays a rather unscholarly bias< .... hope that this evens up the debate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_people ;0 ftc Reply | with quote |  10th December 2005ce 17:35 In reply to: Picts in Ireland (StewardsofGondor) |
