puhlease. Romans introduced civilization into your Island. They've completely destroyed my ancestors, but holding a grudge like that is silly.

Way to exaggerate, Az.


The Celts introduced the Romans to proper beer making in proper barrels, chainmail, effective cavalry and soap.


And underneath those Roman roads ? Celtic roads.


The Celts also had an oral literature, theology, metalworking, a legal system, a Europe-wide economy, et cetera.

What they lacked was political unity.

This was one variety, but there were diffferent arrangments, including where one large oar would have multiple rowers.
