  1. Iceni Houses The Battersea Shield probably dates from the 1st century BC or early 1st century AD, though an earlier date is possible, and dates from as early as 350 BC have been suggested. It was dredged from the bed of the River Thames in London in 1857, during excavations for the predecessor of Chelsea Bridge; in the same area workers found large quantities of Roman and Celtic weapons and skeletons in the riverbed, leading many historians to conclude that the area was the site of Julius Caesar's crossing of the Thames during the 54 BC invasion of Britain. The Battersea Shield is decorated with repoussé decoration and enamel. The decoration is in the typically CelticLa Tène style, consisting of circles and spirals. As a decorative piece it would not have been an effective shield in combat. As it shows no signs of battle damage, it is believed that the shield was cast into the river as a votive offering and was never used in battle. The metal plate of the shield that remains would have been fixed onto a plain, round wooden shield behind it.
  2. Props for Gaulish civ. Now the Britons How they Looked The Celts seem to have had a reputation for being tall (Boudica was no exception) and strong. At about the time the Romans came to Britain, the tribesmen in southern England would probably be wearing long-sleeved tunics and long trousers, which the Romans regarded as barbaric. The women wore long tunics (dresses) and both sexes wore cloaks of wool, thick and heavy in winter and much lighter in summer. These colourful cloaks would be held together with ornamental brooches. Both men and women loved jewellery and wore necklaces, bracelets and anklets as decoration and to show off their wealth and status.
  3. the Gauls are more like Romans and Greeks, i mean more sophisticated than Britons. more artistic props, may be? Finest metalworking.
  4. Rhomphaiaphoros in http://www.twcenter....llic-quot-units Cavalry
  5. In the fields of architecture, the romans surpassed the gauls, like they surpassed everybody anyway. But that doesn't means the gauls had a primitive architecture. In fact they had a very unique style. Again contrary to the popular belief, they did build more than just huts and longhouse. Their cities were fully paved, like their roads, their road systhem was one of the most develloped and well kept of those time, with every roads being made of stone or woods. Only the poorer lived in huts, and most of them had big houses, improved from generations to generations, with fine artwork all around the house, low relief, sculptures, and paintings. The cities had big administrative buildings, again with lots of artwork and decorations, large public facilities (even baths, although not as extended as the romans ones), large central places... http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/archive/index.php/t-141929.html
  6. clothing During the later Iron Age the Gauls generally wore long-sleeved shirts or tunics and long trousers (called braccae by the Romans).[79] Clothes were made of wool or linen, with some silk being used by the rich. Cloaks were worn in the winter. Brooches and armlets were used, but the most famous item of jewellery was the torc, a neck collar of metal, sometimes gold. The horned Waterloo Helmet in the British Museum, which long set the standard for modern images of Celtic warriors, is in fact a unique survival, and may have been a piece for ceremonial rather than military wear.

  14. Persepolis (Old Persian Pârsa, modern Takht-e Jamshid): Greek name of one of the capitals of the ancient Achaemenid empire, founded by the great king Darius (522-486 BCE). There were several satellite sites, like Naqš-i Rustam and Takht-e Rostam. The construction of the Stairs of All Nations and the Gate of All Nations was ordered by the Achaemenid king Xerxes (486-465), the successor of the founder of Persepolis, Darius I the Great. Originally, the main access was in the south; now, one had to ascend to the terrace from the west. Like Gate R in Pasargadae, the entrance of the Gate of All Nations was protected by bulls (front) and these mythological creatures, called lamassu's, bulls with the head of a bearded man. These bull-men originated in Babylonia and Assyria, but the Persians adopted them. The general idea behind them is that they warded off evil. Gate of all Nations, eastern entrance The entire monument was a giant construction with two large doors in the west and east and a hall between them. The columns of the central halls were 16½ meters high. The capitals had the form of a double bull. A third entrance was to the south. From here, one could walk to the Apadana.
  15. And foun some things The construction of the large Stairs of All Nations in Persepolis was ordered by king Xerxes (486-465), the son and successor of the founder of the city, Darius I the Great. Originally, the main access had been in the south; now, one had to ascend to the terrace from the west. The individual stairs are very low. Perhaps this was to enable horsemen to climb to the terrace, but another, more likely explanation is that it was because you were forced to walk upright. The first building one encountered upstairs, was the Gate of All Nations. It inspired the Parthian architects of the sanctuary in Konkobar.
  16. You know today a was involved in search find to Validate a Natural Wonder for Celts, The Sacred Grove, Nemeton, all answer was concerning to Lugo38 idea, he is French, but try to search about some concepts Gods, Temples, Nature, finally I found in Wikipedia the worship to the trees, and where their temple are the opposite to Romans and Helenistic, no are a Strcture by the man for the Gods, is a Strcture from Mother Earth to Celts, later finding cults, elven, Mthology from Celtic, I found in Age of Empires Online, they use as temple.

  20. And finally the Nemeton is the name of Sacred Grove http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nemeton Main article: Nemeton The Celts used sacred groves, called nemeton in Gaulish, for performing rituals, based on Celtic mythology. The deity involved was usually Nemetona - a Celtic goddess. Druids oversaw such rituals. Existence of such groves have been found in Germany, Switzerland, Czech Republic and Hungary in Central Europe, in many sites of ancient Gaul in France, as well as England and Northern Ireland. Sacred groves had been plentiful up until the 1st century BC, when the Romans attacked and conquered Gaul. One of the most well known nemeton sites is that in the Nevet forest near Locronan in Brittany, France. Gournay-sur-Aronde (Gournay-on-Aronde), a village in the Oise department of France, also houses the remains of a nemeton.[7][8] Nemetons were often fenced off by enclosures, as indicated by the German term Viereckschanze - meaning a quadrangular space surrounded by a ditch enclosed by wooden palisades. Many of these groves, like the sacred grove at Didyma, Turkey are thought to be nemetons, sacred groves protected by druids based on Celtic Mythology. In fact, according to Strabo, the central shrine at Galatia was called Drunemeton.[9] Some of these were also sacred groves in Greek times (as in the case of Didyma), but were based on a different or slightly changed mythology.
