If you were a Roman traveler, how would you describe Celtic society and explain the Celts' lack of state building?
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER:
Students should discuss Celtic society as it was described by Greek and Roman observers. The Celts spread throughout much of Europe yet never formed a Celtic state because they were divided into many small kinship groups. Celtic society included an elite class of warriors, priests and bards, and commoners. The Celts were successful farmers and were able to support large populations with their yields. They worked with metals and developed long-distance trade networks through which they traded, among other things, tin. Celtic women performed duties of child rearing, food production, and crafts and were depicted in Roman sources as witty, strong, and proud. In marriage, both men and women contributed property, and both could inherit the estate. Celtic women also had greater freedom in their sexual relations than women of the Mediterranean or East Asia. Students should also describe Celtic deities and spiritual practices.
