| Between the V and III centuries B.C., the Celts occupied the greatest part of continental Europe, dominating the territories between the Atlantic Sea and Anatolian heights, setting solid roots throughout the territories nowadays included in the European Union, Bohemia and part of Turkey. In spite of the image shared by many scholars until a few years ago, the Celts (called Gaels by the Romans, and Galatians by the Greeks) were a well-developed and acculturated civilization: they had great artistic skills, and knew well-advanced agricultural and metallurgic techniques. In the last few years a rediscovery of the Celtic culture is taking place, partly due to the popularity gained by traditional Irish and Breton music among the younger generations. |
