The youth under 30 don't usually appreciate the history of life until they've built their own. Even thats a biased statement since I'm 33 now. I should be smart enough to observe that 40,50,60,70+yo still feel the same way. But I haven't experienced that yet. I digress. I think the answer is time. There's so much bullshit to feed thru these days that it takes the observer's a little longer to find something good. It was money for some but now they are free. Hopefully those people will donate when possible. Dan does great either way. We already know that though.

As a proud celt.. It's always refreahing to hear our history from the view of an interested historian from another part of the world.. What is sad. Is that we Welsh are not told just how golden and intriguing our own past is..we grow up learning to recite the line of English royalty. We learn of roman and norman conquests and of the first and second world wars.. Interesting subjects.. Celtic history is as captivating as Greek history when you dig a little deeper.. Thank you Mr carlin for digging a little bit deeper to present us with a truly captivating piece of work.

@Black Lesbian Poet ???

[@geoffreydonaldson2984]

“Celt,” “Gaul,” “Gael,” and “Welsh,” “Wallachia,” “Walloon,” “Galician” are all the same word, etymologically. First, the ‘C,’ ‘G,’ are interchangeable in many Indo-European languages: ‘cat’ = ‘gato,’ for example; ‘G,’ ‘W’ the same: ‘ward’ =‘guard’, ‘gere’=‘war’ , ‘gang’=‘way’; Thus ‘Wales’ is the same as saying ‘Gaels.’ Most history books attribute the sundry Anglo-Saxon (Germanic) name for the “Welsh” as “foreigner”-that “Welsh” is a Germanic word for “foreigner”-any foreigner. This is incorrect: “Welsh” is the same word as “Celic” or “Keltoi” -a people known at least a millennium before the Germanic nations invaded Britannia. How did historians say that “Welsh” was a Germanic word when it wasn’t? I think because the Welsh call themselves Cymru, so historians reasoned that “Welsh” must have been a sundry word Germanic pidgin speakers called them -and used synonymously with ‘foreigner.’ But “Welsh” is as sundry as “Celt” or “Gael”: Dal Riads, Manx, Eire, Cornish, and many other nations were all Celtic-or “Welsh”- just like the Cymru. Germanic nations called Cumbrians and Galwegians the same thing. Same way “Gauls” (etymologically the same as “Gael” or “Celt”) refers only generally to dozens of Gaulish nations, each with distinct languages or dialects such that some might be nearly unintelligible to others. It might be that these different Germanic languages (Anglian, Jutish, Saxon, Frankish, Frisian, Hwiccan, &c) adopted the proper, sundry name for Celtic people as their own pidgin word for ‘foreigner’ when conversing amongst other Germanic dialects and languages. “Welsh” does not have a root in proto-Germanic, but it was the sundry name Romans used centuries before the Empire abandoned Britannia : “Celt” or “Kelt”-which is etymologically the same as “Wales.” How do we know the various Germanic nations (including Norse) which settled in Britain communicated amongst each other in pidgins? We know because of the existence of the English language: all the progenitor Germanic languages from which Old English arose use grammatical gender declensions, a much more complicated grammar than English; the pidginization (and eventual creolization) of these mixed Germanic tongues involved eliminating gender declensions (like a trade Chinook)-and, thus, English, which also has no gender declensions, must have come about by this process. Naturally, the pidginization process is very eclectic and loose, so it’s easy to imagine some words or titles substituting for the pidgin word, “Welsh” for “foreigner” for example. A Frankish merchant visiting the old Roman city of London knew he was dealing with a fellow Germanic speaker even if if that person was a Jute who could not understand Frankish , nor the Frank understand the Jutish language: they communicated with the trade pidgin they could make up by streamlining their respective grammars (eliminating gender declensions, for example), finding words almost like either language, but also creating new words when there weren’t near equivalents in their respective mother tongues; sometimes these new creations were words from another language family altogether -and used rather cavalierly or prejudicially between each other. I think that’s how the proper, sundry or etymological name for Celts (indigenous nations which Germanic settlers encountered in Britain) might have become the Germanic pidgin-speakers’ agreed and creative and persistent word for ‘foreigner.’ But it has an older, broader meaning that only means ‘foreigner’ to certain foreigners themselves.

[@skellagyook]

In reference to "What language are they speaking in Italy?"I must point out that they never stopped speaking Latin, it simply evolved into Italian which is the closest Romance language to Latin (essentially the modern form of Latin and its most direct descendant), and of course Latin's descendants are spoken in several countries in Europe including France (by the descendants of the Gauls; the French who, in most regions, are largely of Gaulish Celtic ancestry, being descended from Romanized Gauls) and sadly and unfortionately the native Celtic language of France (Gaulish) did die out and was replaced by Latin (the main ancestor of French, though French has some Gaulish influences), though Gaulish survives in inscriptions and can be learned/is understood by scholars. Both the people today (ancestrally), and language in most of Italy are still largely of Roman/Italic origin. The Irish language, Gaelic (which he seems to innacurately use as an example of Gaulish continuity, somehow in contrast to Latin, which is confusing), is Celtic (like Gaulish is), but is certainly not a direct descendant of Gaulish (it does not represent a survival of Gaulish, nor do Welsh, Cornish or Breton). Gaelic belongs to a different branch of the Celtic language family (Goidelic) specific to Ireland (that was established there centuries before the Romans came to Gaul (as the British Celtic, or Brythonic, had also been established in Britain). British Celtic languages like Welsh are likely somewhat closer to Gaulish than Irish is, though they are also not descended from it.

@@yaboikc2352 It's on wikipedia, if nothing else. There is a significant amount of argument whether Welsh is more closely related to Irish or the Continental Celtic languages, but the rough family tree goes: Celtic languages --> Celtiberian languages (extinct) --> Gaelic lanugages --> Primitive Irish --> Old Irish --> Middle Irish --> Irish (endangered), Scots Gaelic (severely endangered), Manx (formerly extinct) --> Brittonic languages --> Old Welsh --> Welsh, Cumbric (extinct) --> Breton (severely endangered), Cornish (formerly extinct) --> Gaulish languages (extinct) Gaulish and Brittonic languages are closer to each other than any other group, Gaelic and Celtiberian are distant from each other, although Gaelic and Brittonic languages had significant language contact with each other for a very long time and have very similar grammar in some cases because of it, although their most basic vocabulary and sound sets are very different from each other.

Woe to the vanquished

[@WolfgangDoghouse]

Well the Romans were probably the most active assimilators. They referred to anything not Roman as "barbarian" but once conquered, they'd marvel in the uniqueness of each culture and incorporate anything of value into their own society. It only makes sense they wouldn't be cruel to those they conquered after the fact. ....Now this might be a little (okay maybe very) controversial, but I find a lot of similarities to the philosophy of ancient Rome to modern Israel only in the concept of how Rome would wage "defensive wars" on their neighbors to pacify threats even if those threats don't exist at all. Before anyone says it, I'm NOT antisemitic....but I am anti-Zionist. There's a very big difference here.

[@octaviancaesarhibernicus4447]

Wolfgang Doghouse the most important method they used for assimilation were the Gods. Foreign Gods were constantly fused to their own, okay it was an iron fist in a velvet glove but it was incredibly effective and a god like Mars could end up with any number of foreign gods attached to his name. But it gave foreigners a huge sense of familiarity. When the gods are used this way you'd have to wonder were there atheists in Rome even at this time. The paradoxical Sulla was meant to have been a notorious cynic while also believing he was under the protection of Mars' female equivalent Bellona.

[@WolfgangDoghouse]

That would make a lot of sense. Overall, I'd think many of the inhabitants of the Roman Empire were agnostic atheists. I don't believe historians have ever reached a consensus on whether many of the ancient gods (not just in Rome) were actually worshiped as gods or instead, used as symbols for ideas. But what you say does make sense for those recently annexed.

[@octaviancaesarhibernicus4447]

Wolfgang Doghouse I mean I would have to think that for nobles educated in Greek philosophy and the sciences that the Gods were simply used for advancement and control. A majority of nobles held priesthoods which for them were used alongside magistrates, sometimes instead of, other times to stay on the political scene while an election came up or they missed out on an office they were up for. When the entirety of society is built around the political machine its only natural priesthoods would be cynically used that way, just like military offices were used in the political machinations of the state, all were interchangeable as long as they led to the consulship. Look at Caesar and the Pontifex Maximus. When he was introducing land bills his arch enemy Bibulus said strange omens had been seen and the vote would have to be delayed. Naturally Caesar outranked him and had the augurs decide in his favour while having a bucket of shit poured on Bibulus. For the plebs I'm sure the gods had an entirely different meaning but for the nobles and patricians it was a handy tool to have. When the plebs had offices like the one of a tribune introduced the patricians acquiesced but they kept an absolute hammerlock on the priesthoods. Augustus aswell eventually inherited the Pontifex Maximus from Lepidus but he used it as another form of power to add to the his principate.

[@WolfgangDoghouse]

This reminds me of an old quote by Lucius Annaeus Seneca, "Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful." In all this time, things haven't changed very much when it comes to our forms of manipulation. Thanks for the educational information you've provided in this discussion. I've learned a few things.

[@herbthompson8937]

I've listened to this so many times, I'm pretty sure I could sit with Dan and do this whole thing with him

[@FroggyFrog9000]

Amazing high quality talk - I learned so much. Also a very sad history for Celts.

[@deandeann1541]

Caeser conquered about 400 cities in a row. I don't know how large these cities would be considered today, but they were considered cities at the time. Some of the battles were quite large and extended. He was an exceptionally skilled general.

[@tranzco1173]

Why not 400,000 cities? 800,000 elite barbarian troops killed in one battle. 500,000 women and children marched quickly over 300,000 miles with over 600,000 horses. Then met 1,500 Roman troops under Caesar and they were all killed immediately in a series of 100,000 battles, except for 300,000 orphan hostages, and 800,000 nagging women, who were provided food and transport back to their homes. How many different villages? Unknown but believed to be over 900,000 villages,, and 400,000 cities. They were considered cities at the time, at least. How many in reality? Probably around 300,000, but even if they conquered only 200,000 cities, wow. Just wow. All of these numbers are super accurate. Source - Caeser.

[@jk7140]

If they would have written more down we would remember more. Like the Europeans in recent memory conquered Oceania, the Americas, South Asia, etc. The Polynesians and many of the peoples of the Americas are left wondering about parts of their history but Indians wrote down enough that their history lived on. The Celts rarely ever wrote a thing down, so this is the position we find ourselves in now 🤷🏼‍♂️ Not to victim blame, my ancestry is Irish and in this story I have much more sympathy for the Celts, but this is just a fact of history.
