Celt - No such thing !!!

[L C Cinna]

I am curretly on the trail of the Brigantes as they are noted as the only Tribe with lands in both England and Ireland. There are also mentions of Brigantii in the Austrian Alps and also in Spain. If these are linked that would be very intersting hock:

The thing about the name being pretty common as it means "mountain" was already answered.

I was born and grew up in the region in the Austrian alps where the Brigantii or Brixentes like a roman inscription also calls them lived.

They are part of the Vindelici and got their name after their main settlement Brigantium/Brigantion (modern Bregenz) which is situated on a mountain slope between Lake Constanz and the Pfaender mountain. The settlement was founded around 1500BCE and was the strongest oppidum in the eastern lake Constanz area.

(btw the museum there is small but has some really nice objects like one of the Coolus helmets from Schaan, many celtic and roman swords and a nice treasure of Roman coins and jewelery which was found in a former swamp nearby.)
