Celts: Invent chainmail Also Celts: Fight bollock-naked
-
If I had a nickel for every time a guy named Brennus invaded the Greco-Roman world I'd have two nickels, which isnt a lot but its weird that it happened twice.
-
My wet dream fantasy involves an HBO/Netflix historical drama series in collaboration with Kings and Generals.
-
One strategy you seemed to have forgotten that the Gauls possessed is that druids were known to make potions as a last resort that made their population invulnerable! For example, there was one indomitable village in Armorica that managed to hold out against Caesar's legions over 60 years after Vercingetorix threw his sword at Caesar's feet!
-
Have to respect a people whose battle strategy against disciplined lines of shields, lances and swords was: "Let's jump naked at them!"

In Greece there is a place callled Kokkalia. It means bones. It was named after a bloody battle that took place near the modern town Karpenisi(near the Aetolian lands and Delphi) between celts an Greeks. The people used to find a lot of bones in the area up until recently. There is also a monument commemorating this battle.
-
I can only imagine how it feels to be a phalanx in formation against the Gauls. Sure, you're known to be practically invincible from the front, but just watching the screaming, naked enemy practically jumping into your spear just to get you must still be scary.
-
"The Roman conquests were coming." That's a wonderfully ominous and hair-raising line.
-
Writer here. Galicia is in Spain, not Portugal. I must have made a brainless mistake because Galician is closer to Portuguese than Castilian spanish. My bad!
-
Never knew that the Gallic hordes locked swords with the Greek hoplite armies at Thermopylae...fascinating stuff
-
As a descendant of the Irish Celts, I was always told the reason for fighting without clothes was because they knew, if you were wounded and survived the battle, the threads of your clothes in your wound(s) had a good chance of causing infection. So, the chose to fight without them. After all, a metal weapon, tearing through your clothes (and then your body), could send those threads—filthy threads, by this point in the battle—right into the wound.
-
this transition was so smooth and unexpected
-
Celtic Kingdom in Anatolia sounds very interesting
-
"Historical evidence suggests a significant amount of Celts did fight nude... to inspire fear in their enemies." Fear the mighty Celt and his Magnum Dong.
-
There is a village in Greece called Kokalia ( which literally means bones )and people still find Gallic soldiers skulls and armor !!!
-
Interesting fact, in modern Welsh the world for King is Brenin, which is latinsed to Brennus. I've often wondered if Brennus was a title not a name and the Romans didn't understand that.
-
to this day in greece the area where the last battle was fought is called kokalia(which translates to little bones) because after all this time you can still find pieces of bones in the ground. like imagine centuries and milenias later, when people would have had no idea about any of this, what theories and legends they might have forged xD

Celts: "The Greeks defeated us at Thermopylae" Persians: "First time?"
