Gallic Swordsmanship - Bryan - 06-14-2015

Based off most available literary descriptions, the various Celtic/Gallic tribal warriors of the 3rd-1st century BC used a flat thureos shield and long slashing swords. Are there reenactments of Gallic warriors that showcases or stresses any swordsmanship? In terms of available blows, shield use, stances, spacing, target areas? Any interesting articles or videos on the subject?
