Quote: I think the best definition is the linguistic one: a Celt is someone speaking a celtic language since his early childhood.So you would refer to a 4th c. Roman citizens as a Celt when he speaks Gallic? :?:
Quote:Now British isles probably received few Celts in the Iron Age, it was more the adoption of the celtic culture over centuries.Ah! Now, if you can define 'Celtic culture'that would be a big step forward in research of this problem. My guess would be that that's not possible, the definition I mean.
