Who were the Celts?
Before reading the test let us test your previous knowledge in this Hot Potato #12
The Celts originated in Europe. They began to sread through Europe in about 2500 BC until they were in the height of their reign in 300 BC.
The Celts dominated mid and Western Europe for a thousand years. But it is only recently that the importance of Celtic influence on the cultural, linguistic and artistic development of Europe. The Celts as an identifiable race or ethnic group have long since disappeared, except in places such as Ireland and the Scottish Highlands, and to an extent in Wales and Brittany.
The Celts transmitted their culture orally, never writing down history or facts. This accounts for the extreme lack of knowledge about them prior to their contact with the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome. They were generally well educated in metalworking, husbandry and other life pursuits, even on topics such as religion, philosophy, geography and astronomy. The Romans often employed Celtic tutors for their sons according to one Roman historian. This must have bristled the Roman pride and as the Roman Empire grew in power and prestige, these tutors were replaced with other cultures, the Romans considering the Celts too barbaric to be educating their young.
