Ah, I love this stuff so much. Before the Romans even set foot on British soil, there was over 1,200 years of history. Kingdoms and battles and lovers and betrayels. All of it. I wish the Celts wrote down or documented these, but we have awesome artefacts like hillforts and hoards. And then we have standing stones like Stonehenge which was 2,000 years before the Celts even stepped onto Britain!

[@imemberberry]

We only have limited information to go off of unfortunately, usually imperial scribes writing about them, not much actual source code from Celts. Publius Tacitus wrote that a man from Briton could speak to a man from Anatolia with no language barrier for hundreds of years. Leads me to believe that while "Celts" or "Gauls" or "Goths" never considered themselves as such, there was a sort of anti-empire tribal understanding that preserved language and culture against the Greek and Roman empires of antiquity. It's like.. they weren't working together, but they hated the empires more than each other and over hundreds of years certain customs became universal.

This documentary did a fantastic job of coherently linking the ancient continental celts with the Britons that descended from them, leading up to the clashes with the Anglo-Saxons which transitions somewhat neatly into the Normans and modern times. And it was even a little cheekier than normal. Combined with the other long-format documentary on the continental Celts, this is the most comprehensive history I've ever seen of the people who helped shape Rome and were the forefathers of the people who became the Irish.

Love to hear about the ancient history of my home, I have lived in Ramsgate all my life and Pegwell Bay today is a well preserved nature reserve for nesting birds. It’s a lovely place to go for a walk just don’t hit the nature reserve. To think that 2100 years ago it was the site of Roman Eagles landing on the shore of Britain to now being the well protected site for Turtle Doves and other nesting birds strikes a stark contrast. Thank you for this excellent video. There is the Replica Hugin Viking Longboat about half a mile up the coast from Pegwell Bay in Cliffsend which was gifted by the Danish in 1949 to commemorate 1500 years since the Anglo-Saxon invasion and there is a sign near it saying Kent Welcomes Viking Invaders as a dual historical reference. As well, the town of Ramsgate is the site where St Augustine brought Christianity to the British Isles. Our little corner of the country is steep with important pivotal national history but we scarcely advertise it. Hopefully that will change in years to come.

The earliest Welsh genealogies give Maximus (referred to as Macsen/Maxen Wledig, or Emperor Maximus) the role of founding father of the dynasties of several medieval Welsh kingdoms, including those of Powys and Gwent. He is given as the ancestor of a Welsh king on the Pillar of Eliseg, erected nearly 500 years after he left Britain, and he figures in lists of the Fifteen Tribes of Wales Also to let you know magnus maximus was great great grand father to King Arthur

Most celtic peoples believed in reincarnation as well. It's one of the major reasons why the romans stomped out the druids. Belief in reincarnation made celtic warriors too rebellious.

[@iainrendle7989]

Really.....it was more to do with the excuse using the Druidic practice of human sacrifice that was abhorant to the Romans, but rather the power held by the Druids in the Celtic tribes and the fact that they were a glue between different tribes, so therefore did not benefit the Roman normality of divide and conquer. The Druids believed in Rebirth rather than reincarnation.....and reason why badly sick people were euthanised, and only after the creation of modern Druidism was reincarnation referred to.

(Cotentin today) But also the Channel Islands. ( Guernsey, Jersey). But the Romans did not know how to pronounce the W, so they Latinized the name of these Celts (Venelles) Then (Venellii) Later, they replaced the V with a U (Unellii). The Wenells were crushed by the Romans in their first battle. Because these Celtic people had an anarchic way of charging the enemy. Today, Some Americans are called Wenell.

Manx is not extinct. They still have speakers, and the extinct classification in 1975 was premature. It's now considered "Critically Endangered."

Each warrior was an adventurer, an individual champion. They did not understand fighting in formation. That is the simple reason the Romans were victorious. This series of events and this era in history is my favourite, without a doubt.

I love listening to this dialog exponentially going off the rails in chaos. "Ceasars hot girl summer in kent." fucks sake! I'm dying harder than the druids 😂

[@matamatamata2604]

Amazing video, illustrations and narration. Great documentary! I love it. 👏

[@deadlyundead]

OMG "Caesar's hot girl summer in Kent" line had me rolling🤣

[@Robbo262]

One of the best documentaries I have seen in ages thank you 🙏

It would be really nice to see videos about Germanicus campaigns in Germany and his revenge on Arminius, with the battles of the Angrivarian wall and the battle of Idistaviso. Or also the campaigns of emperor Trajan and his conquests of Dacia and Mesopotamia. Btw fantastic work as always.

[@Kili2807]

Yeah a Full Series of the Augustan Germanic Wars: From Drusus to Germanicus
