Aristocrat burial in Musov https://www2.rgzm.de/Transformation/Czech/Musov/29012007.htm https://www.outfit4events.com/eur/product/9999-german-spear-from-the-king-s-grave-of-musov/

Only Roman or Celtic coins, they didn't mint anything themselves at this time. See those:

I use this dictionary from Delamarre, French is my mother tongue. Those are the latinized version. And brogae is actually what you can see in Allobroges, I don't think it means "field" but "land", "country" or even "territory". The Gallic dictionaries generally analyzes Galatian, Lepotian and Gallic as a whole. Sometimes including Brittonic languages. I will answer further later.

Sadly no. Nothing more than the usual simple patterns we already posted in the other thread and sent by private message. There is little known about the Early Germans, especially on their artistic preferences. Some other reenactment stuff:

I like it. I would say I find a bit weird the upper part of the inner houses with the wicker still visible, without cover wattle-and-daube is pretty useless. Maybe it could be an opportunity to add player color on the upper part (or the lower part) of the house as well. The contrast between white and colored can be appealing. This is a place of gathering and feasting, an occasion for Gallic aristocrats and elected magistrates (there were elected positions in the Gallic society) to display their wealth in the purpose to get more support (politically, economically and military). We know these particular events were the opportunity to drink wine and indeed there are a lot of amphora remains found in the sanctuary of Corent. Even holes in the ground where wine was poured in, probably as a symbolic ritual to share it with the underground deities. Finally we found another striking feature on the site, coins and tools to produce coins. Maybe the coins were distributed to the guests. I am simply saying these things to give you idea if you want to add more little things. http://www.luern.fr/index.php?mod=scientifique&act=sanctuaire&id=47&img=32

Interesting ideas

To be precise, we don't know if this was a statue. The only thing sure, there was some kind of a weapon trophee (tropaion): https://www.academia.edu/17354860/Le_trophée_de_Corent From the objects found (4 shields bosses, a scabbard, a chain mail and a Gallic boar standard), it was probably not a statue. To give you an idea in a different context: https://youtu.be/GczRbefa16k?t=755 It seems that wicker is more correct according to the description from the site. This is like half-timbered construction (à colombage en français). Wooden poles with wicker frames. http://luern.free.fr/Articles et rapports/Esquisse.htm

Don't take Lindybeige too seriously, especially on the matter of overhand grip.

Celicnon. https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/celicnon

I think the player color should be the biggest area. The Germans were actually coloring their shields a lot, at least for the elites and the nobles. I really suggest to focus on higher grade Germanic shields for the moment, it would be easier. So shields fully colored. So in those examples I would suggest to use blue/red/green area as the player color Edit: by the way do not took in account the subdivision in basic/advanced/elite made on this draft, it was made without any consultation nor approval. Shield boss + shield rims are actually not common.

Why that much armored? The shield rims are too big and too much riveted.

I don't know what is their basis for this circle thing. If you want to use alternative feel free. On this matter, we don't know what was drawn on the walls.

Connaissant l'INRAP, probablement la plus restrictive possible pour le monde de la recherche But it would be maybe possible to blend different elements and to alter the design. The designs themselves are Gallic, this is only redrawn.

In the spoiler bar.

It comes from different potteries found in Auvergne, the actual region where the Arverni (a Gallic tribe) were living. I don't know which one the artist took exactly but it doesn't matter. I gave several pictures in my previous message. Here a view of the real potteries in their actual state: http://arvernie.free.fr/spip.php?article40 The other alternative could be to use the different panels from Gundestrup cauldron.

This is maybe a bit excessive view and this painting is a 1840s representation of Arminius. Early Germans could have an interesting roster but they also have this issue of very few attested protective equipment. At this time the Germans were economically poor, producing very little things from themselves. There is a bit more warriors burials in the East with the Przeworsk culture and a bit more foreign weapons along the Rhine. The Germans seem to offset their lack of equipment with their passion for war, their guerrilla tactics and their skill. Although it was not that much effective against the Roman war machine, this was enough to discourage them from conquering their economically uninteresting and difficult to control territories without urban power centers. Too big cost for little gain.

When the Celts were still independent at least yes. After that, the Celtic helmets definitely vanishes everywhere, even in the East. Probably that the best ways to acquire helmets at this time were receiving gifts and mercenary/auxiliary experience. This is probably why we found roman helmets as well deep in the North

Yes. Based on the sanctuary found in Corent. Another sanctuary similar has been found in Tintignac as well. It is possible to slightly modify the building from the reference. It only needs to keep the essence of the building. By the way @Stan` I don't know if it can be useful for you, but here a few pictures from painted ceramics found in Auvergne during this time period (end of La Tène).

Before the migration period, nope. Excepted the weird wooden helmets from Lolland. Probably they would have used first Celtic helmets (especially Coolus-Mannheim type and Port type) then Roman helmets type. There is also a Negau type with a Germanic inscription, although it is a bit far from their homeland.

In Irish iron age monuments, there is a rite observed several times in the archeological records: most buildings are burnt after a while and some are rebuilt after that. There is a theory suggesting a ritualistic destruction, maybe related to the death of a king. Anyway, it could be fun from a gameplay perspective to sacrifice the wonder for a strategic goal (temporary bonus, special units etc. etc.). Not necessarily to destroy the building, maybe the stone part can remain and the player can rebuild it on top with a discount.

Cantalon. This is a word attested on an inscription about a religious ceremony. There are different readings but it could has designated a circular monument, from the Gaulish Cantos, the circle.

I really liked the idea of the Uffington White Horse but it does not justify the amount of resources, the garrison and the hp ;-) Maybe the White Horse could be used as a special "building", with specific strategical use (area bonus, territory extension etc.).

Actually, it could be a faked medieval helmet to look like an ancient one, with the purpose to higher the price:
