The Ancient Celtic people were never a unified empire, but were individual and complex tribes that shared the Celtic language, and through the trade of goods and ideas, shared similarities in art, warfare, religion and burial practices. The term ‘Celts’ is a general name given to the ancient tribal groups which spanned across western and central Europe during the Late Bronze Age and into the Iron Age. Even though they were related, the tribes had differing governmental systems and would often go into battle against each other (much like the city-states of Greece). These tribes which existed somewhat independently from each other, with both overlapping and unique features were largely absorbed by the Roman Empire by the 1st century CE.
