We Romanians also have Celtic heritage! Celts lived in many regions of Romania. For example "Galati" town and county name in Romania comes from the Gals (Celts) that lived there. In "Transilvania" or "Maramureș" areas we also had many Celts who left beautiful traces in our culture, for example in the traditional Romanian Tartan textile motifs of alternative black and white squares with lines, very similar to the Scottish ones, or in our traditional music, the whistle playing tradition, we have many very old Celtic crosses throughout Romana! In "Apuseni" mountains lived many Celts as well, and this can also be seen in the fact that men in that area had long braided hair and still "diddle/lilt" songs like the Irish to this day! Search for "The Revolt of Horea, Closca and Crisan 1784" for example and you can see from their pictures that they had a Celtic hairstyle. These are only a few examples. There are many more!
Just like one has 4 grandparents, the Romanian people has 4 ancestors: the Romans, the Thracians-Illyrians, the Celts, and the Scythians-Sarmatians.
About the Celts
"Their tribes and groups eventually ranged from the British Isles and northern Spain to as far east as Transylvania, the Black Sea coasts, and Galatia in Anatolia and were in part absorbed into the Roman Empire as Britons, Gauls, Boii, Galatians, and Celtiberians."

"Scythia Minor or Lesser Scythia (Greek: Μικρά Σκυθία, romanized: Mikra Skythia) was a Roman province in late antiquity, corresponding to the lands between the Danube and the Black Sea, today's Dobruja divided between Romania and Bulgaria. It was detached from Moesia Inferior by the Emperor Diocletian to form a separate province sometime between 286 and 293 AD. The capital of province was Tomis (today Constanța)."

"Like the Scythians to whom they were closely related, the Sarmatians were highly developed in horsemanship and warfare. "

"When the Sarmatians penetrated into southeastern Europe, they were already accomplished horsemen. They were nomadic, devoting themselves to hunting and to pastoral occupations."

"DAN: The shepherd was playing the whistle while leading the flock of sheep.
NICOLAE: Yes, and he was old, very old.
DAN: And the sheep were following him.
NICOLAE: Yes, that’s how it’s done.
One shepherd leads the flock of sheep, and the other accompanies the rear.
That’s the way the story goes.
DAN: That’s very beautiful!
NICOLAE: Nec plus ultra!
DAN: And you taught me this jiana 50 years later.
(The jiana is a Romanian traditional music genre)
NICOLAE: Yes, about 50 years.
DAN: Thank you, it is very beautiful!"
