The document discusses the locations where ancient Celtic people lived, including Greece, Northern Italy, England, and Scotland. It provides details on the Celtic arrival and settlement in each location. In Scotland, the Celts arrived in 700 BC and settled in northern Ireland and western Scotland, eventually dominating the native Picts. In Northern Italy, the Celts sacked Rome in 390 BC and battled the Romans for years before being defeated. The Celts also settled in parts of England during the Iron Age and impressed the Greeks with their appearance, being introduced to writing and chariots.

4. Scotland
• The Celts arrived in Scotland from many different
places in 700 B.C. when they arrived they agreed to
settle in Northern Ireland and the West of Scotland. In
the North of Scotland the Celts biggest enemies were
the Picts, who reined Scotland before the Celts. The
Picts were the rulers of Scotland and then the Celts
started to dominate them. After a period of time the
Celts became the dominant culture of Scotland. The
civilization that kept records of the Celts wars and
battles were the Romans (Maybe because the Celts
impressed the Romans with their powerful
appearance).

5. Northern Italy (Rome)
• In 390, the Celts sacked Rome. Many of the Celts
stayed in Northern Italy. The Celts and the
Romans battled for many years. Many people had
to choose a side, the Romans or the Celts.
Eventually the Celts were defeated by the
Romans. At one of their fights the Celts asked
to meet the Romans at the Allia River and the
Celts brutally beat the Romans. Some of the
Roman soldiers drowned in the Water while
trying to escape from the crazed Celts.

6. England
• England (These group of Celts were called the
Iron Age Celts, they were alive in the Iron Age)
• The Britain’s were one of the 3 major Celtic
groups. The period of time in Britain immediately
before the Roman period is known as the Iron
Age. The Iron Age got its name from the
discovery of Iron, which the Celts found out how
to make tools and weapons out of Iron. Over
several of years, the Celts kept coming over to
Britain.

7. Greece
• The Celts impressed the Greeks with their
bold dress and powerful appearance. The
Greeks introduced the Celtics to the Chariot
and Writing. After that the Celtics modified
the chariot. In 279 BCE the Greeks and Celtics
had a fight. In 323 BC Celtic tribes invaded
Europe. In 280 BC Celtic tribes sacked many
Greek cities. In 230 BC Celtic tribes defeated in
battle by Greek troops in Turkey.
