Democracy is not really freedom.

The Romans saw themselves as racially superior to the Celts. Racism has existed for a long time, since the dawn of man.

They didn't say why the Celts went on to sack Rome. The Romans came as ambassadors to make "peace" with the Celts. However at the siege of Clusium, 391 B.C they recognized the exact ambassadors who came to them helping their enemies. They told Rome of the treachery of their ambassadors; Rome ignored their complaint because the ambassadors were the sons of Fabius Ambustus. Since the complaint went unheeded, they went and sacked Rome (leaving other towns untouched) & made them pay a fine.

To the top comment, racism back then is more due to nature where we as humans naturally identify with those similar to ourselves as an extended kinship, this is a survival tool to encourage group cohesion, that's why Lions don't go hanging around with Tigers or Leopards if you get my drift? but yes the Romans were very right wing lol.

The Celts were a force to be reckoned with!

payback is a bisquit!! those human sacrifycing celts finally met latin power, and paid for their attrocities under the hand of Julius caesar.

Wikipedia is saying Diodorus Siculus is Greek.

@dsmacho I care! Taim a Ghra ar teanga fein chomh maith. This vid left out that the "Q-Celtic" ancestors of the Irish have some of the oldest genetic markers in Europe (it is also thought they are related to the Basques) Irish Aristocracy did not give up their truly celtic ways until the english made them by law to stop dressing, acting and speaking Irish in the late 1500s. Ireland is the only truly celtic country in the world today!!!

Some historians say that Rome came to be such a military power because it was constantly trying to fend off the Celts. France at the time was Gaul...a completely celtic land. as was most of England all of Ireland...parts of Czechoslovakia, The Balkans, Greece, Turkey....these guys had all the power in pre-recorded Europe. I believe their downfall came from their illiteracy.

@jamtheman3017 Wish I would have seen this 11 mos. ago...For anyone else who cares..Check out any decent copy of the Irish cycle of legends, Thomas Cahill's "How the Irish Saved Civilization" or Peter Beresford Ellis's "The Druids".....The ancient legends were developed by speakers of Q-Celtic probably Ancient Gaelic...But were written down centuries later by monks using the Latin alphabet  write Old Irish.
