Online resources for Gallic Celts, 1st century BC

Ea · 03-04-2009, 12:40 PM

I am looking for information about Gallic Celts, 1st century BC - culture, dress, weapons, daily life, etc. Lots of info about the British Celts, but not the continental. You're a cultured crowd and I wondered if you might be able to help me? It's for fan ficiton writing project.

I want to show off something funny that I found - in the middle of this page you'll find an image of Odin, with a winged, 'be-eagled', helmet, on a lavender Sleipnir, beneath the legend: ODIN - A Celtic[sic!] Warrior. It's precious

Check the Louvre and sort the art by date. Pick your era and have fun.

Good idea!

DixieGal · 03-04-2009, 01:31 PM

Bad idea. I couldn't find anything in their databases.

Ea · 03-04-2009, 01:35 PM

No, me neither. But it did give me the idea to search historical musems and that sort of thing - they sometimes have good resources. Time to brush off my pretty much non-existent French. NOW I wish I had listened more closely in school

(French teachers are allowed to gloat now)

I felt bad about sending you on the wild goose chase, so I want to try again to help. Here are the ONLY 2 pics I could find of gallic clothing. On is peasant, the other is in modified Roman armor.

The pics were stolen off other websites. Please forgive my copyright infringements, because 1 came from Flickr and the other from some place called Generator which sent my browser into a loop.

I knew it was difficult.

Yes, I did. I need ideas about where to search, now that he most obvious way haven't returned many usable results.

Oh wow, that's just too mindbending, sort of like adding alka seltzer to a zany carter deluxe just to watch it fizz, groovy.

Hmm, I thought this thread was on how to get those ancient Celts online...

Ea · 03-04-2009, 03:16 PM

Well, it doesn't really work if it's a loop... We'll talk about looking for it. Google'll bring us here, searching for it.
