Well, that seems to be a workable model that would be able to fire repeatedly. The reasons it wasn't adopted could be almost anything, I suppose. As I...
Indeed Druids were not a uniform clerical group, but encompassed people with quite varied activities. You had some who conducted priestly activities, other who...
I don't have a lot to add here except that you should remember that the celts differed from territory to terrortory not all of them had human sacrafice and...
I know that Rome had some client kingdoms in the east, but does anyone know where I can get a list of them? Also did they have any outside of the area we now...

Hi. I am not sure about a list on them an the internet (although, their number and their respective borders were constantly in flow, so any list would only be...
I have some maps of the Roman Empire and neighboring empires/kingdoms from various periods, and client and vassal states of the Roman Empire are shown. On a...
[about.com] Historical Method When trying to figure out which version of the "facts" to accept, it would help to have a checklist to determine credibility....

If that ... Greetings: I may be covering ground already touched by others; however it might be worthwhile to note that the Druids as a class in Celtic society...
