Celtic

The lands Celtic people lived in were Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Greece, Spain, Northern Italy, England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. These people were distant from other European peoples of that time; because of the different language they spoke, which later on was referred to as Celtic. Celtic Culture had two different periods, the first one being the Hallstatt dating from 1200 bc to 475 bc. Throughout this period, Celts created art which contained geometrical shapes and straight lines and they were also expert craftsmanship of iron and other metals. As the Hallstatt era was finishing, a new style was beginning to flourish, which was known as La Tene period. During this period there were a lot of changes which included new decorative art styles, transportation improvements, agricultural progression, and economic improvement. Also Celts were divided into tribes of 20,000 to 250,000 people and were ruled by Kings.
