The Celtic population, known for their rich history and cultural heritage, left a lasting impact on the ancient world. From Gaul (Galata) to Rome, their influence can be seen in various forms of art and historical events. One such example is a Roman copy after an Hellenistic original from the 1st century AD. This sculpture depicts a Celt from Gaul (Galata), showcasing their distinct features and attire. The intricate details captured in marble highlight the craftsmanship of this era. In another artwork dating back to the 2nd century AD, we witness Gaul in the act of falling. This Roman art piece immortalizes the struggles faced by these brave warriors during battles against foreign forces. Moving forward in time, an engraving from 1796 showcases Heruli and Briton warriors. This depiction sheds light on different tribes within the Celtic population who fought alongside each other against common enemies. Historical events also shaped perceptions of Celts. An illustration from 1896 portrays the plunder of Rome by Gauls under Brennus in 390 BC with a chilling caption: "Woe to the defeated. " Such incidents highlighted both their military prowess and fierce determination. Julius Caesar's invasion of Gaul is another significant event that cannot be overlooked when discussing Celts' history. A vivid illustration from 1895 captures Caesar leading his troops during this campaign, emphasizing his encounters with Celtic tribes throughout his conquests. Even everyday life was not devoid of conflict as depicted in a captivating illustration from 1926 titled "The geese on the Capitol of Toulouse give alert against a Gallic attack. " It showcases how even animals played a role in warning against potential threats posed by Celts. Religion held great importance among Celts as well; an engraving dating back to c. 1790 provides insight into Celtic druids practicing their rituals amidst nature's embrace.
