There was no one Celtic race, but over time the Celts established an influential culture, as rich as it was diverse. Their metalwork and stonemasonry indicate a sophisticated level of artistry, and their agricultural skills transformed their territories into prosperous lands.

When the Romans turned their imperial sights on Celtic Britain, the tribes united against their common enemy. Although defeated, the Celtic culture of Britain thrived as a result of occupation, while Ireland developed its own brand of Celtic Christianity. Discover the fascinating Celts and how strongly their legacy is felt today.

Two thousand years ago, Britain and Ireland were ruled by fiercely independent Celtic tribes. They had made their way here from the continent, perhaps seeking more space for their growing numbers, or looking for new trading opportunities.

I don't agree with the narrator @1:00 when he says that in the lowland zone the native Celts had forgotten how fight because of Romanization. My theory is that when the Romans left to defend other parts of the Empire they would have taken the most skilled and experienced British soldiers with them.
