xD kangz haha le (((BBC)))
>>3155293
Why?
>>
>>3155316

Welsh people usually have black or brown hair
>>
>>3155325
Thats true that Celtic Britons on average had darker hair than Germanic Celts but its statistically no different to Gaul or modern France(35-50% fair hair)at that time furthermore Roman sources tell us they dyed their hair with lime anyway.

Celts had boring black hair.

The Nords were the ones who had blonde hair.

Degenerates

>On one part the Ancient Britons who were notorious for their rampant homosexuality and bestial urges, free young Britons were said to offer themselves to every foreigner that passed their way, and they were actually indignant when their offer was declined. And it was added that they did not do this out of a shortage of omen. Of all the ancient Celtic peoples they were the most degenerated lot, especially during Roman times.
>And then the Saxonic tribes came, and all the scat-fetish and unclean masochism that they're into.

He'd probably be using a spear instead of a sword.

>hurrdurr the Romans would have never made up vile shit about the people they were trying to subjugate, even though they've done it every single time
>>
>>3155497
They even made it up about other Italians. They claimed the Samnites were cannibals who preferred fucking men and horses and were frightened of their own women as beasts.
>>
>>3155491

Germanic Celt is still an oxymoron.

no different than Iberian Celts , Galatians or the Lepontii
>>
>>3155533
Don't lose your way.
>>
>>3155533

Those are valid concepts, Germanic Celt is not. Germanic refers to Germanic people alone, not the land of Germany.
>>
>>3155545
The first wave of Scyths could be considered Keltic if they're migrating with Macedonians.

No, that is a modern fantasy depiction.

t. French

While yes, many Celts did have darker hair colours, when going into battle (as I believe is depicted in that figure), they often filled their hair/moustaches with lime (as in limestone, not the fruit), in order to give the characteristic spiky appearance, and the yellow-white colour.

Also >>3155595 is right, he probably shouldn't be wearing trousers, but everything else is not horribly inaccurate.

What would he be wearing instead of trousers?
>>
>>3155892
I thought thats what they always wore. They didnt wear togas.
>>
>>3155278
They sure liked their chariots, boy howdy!
>>
>>3155278
Probably would have had a shitty spear or some javelins and a smaller shield.

One of the most consistent criticism of the Britons was that they were really really impoverished both as tribes and as individuals.
>>
>>3155892
Just a shitty tunic

I can't speak for British Celts but in Ireland and to a certain extent among the Picts what was generally worn was a long belted tunic and a cloak. Some people wore trousers but going from artwork they seem to have been mostly for soldiers and very tight, more like modern leggings than traditional trousers.
>>
>>3155545
so what would you call celts living in Germania ?
The Romans called Cisalpine Gauls Gallia Citerior and considered them gauls even though they lived in Italy.

>>3155455
>>3155665
>tfw the celts turned super saiyan for battle
>>
>>3155892
>What would he be wearing instead of trousers?

Nothing.

Many celtic societies (Gauls, Britons, Helvetii etc) had some warriors that eschewed armour in favour of divine protection and intimidation.
>>
>>3155665
>he probably shouldn't be wearing trousers, but everything else is not horribly inaccurate.

The blue tattoos are just conjecture based in vague Roman descriptions. The super saiyan hairstyle is pure invention.

Original Celts were black

What is Halstatt
>>
>>3156292
Cool. I guess I just saw more drawings of soldiers.
>>
>>3156456
>The super saiyan hairstyle is pure invention.
I know that Romans would say some ridiculous stuff about there enemies when describing them but they did say that celts dyed there hair with limestone and shaved there facial hair into a mustache. I dont think that they would lie about everything.
