Quote:Hi I thought that Diodorus was Greek?Greetings,
But the section you quote in your post is used to justify "Celt" reenactors running around looking like they have just ram raided a tartan shop when in fact it is specifically cloaks that are checkered or striped in design the shirts are brightly coloured and embroidered makes you think doesn't it?
The mullet is a pre-Roman native iron age peoples style (I loath and despise the word Celtic to describe anything other than a linguistic group)??
Still might explain why some of Ireland's top sports men are still to be seen in full mulleted glory!
yes he is Greek, born in Sicily...
I often think that some of the tartans worn look a little too modern and overdone...
hock: I wonder what the embroidered designs on the tunics were like, if anything like the metalwork, they must have looked beautiful...!
