[EN] The Celtic world in the 3rd century B.C. Report on recent research.
The eastward shift in the centre of gravity of the Celtic world was a determining factor in the history of the 3rd century. The Balkan invasion of 280/279 B.C. is to be integrated into this context because of its colonizing nature. The consequences of the defeat in Greece manifested themselves throughout a vast area stretching from the British Isles and Central Anatolia to the plains of Northern Europe and the Mediterranean by the formation of new units (the Scordisci, the kingdom of Tylis in Thrace, the Galatae of Asia Minor) and also by the influence exerted upon the western territories by the new eastern centre of La Tène civilization. The structural mutation of the Celtic World was accelerated by direct contacts with the Mediterranean. The transformation of the Celtic army and the change in military equipment and, similarly, the appearance of public sanctuaries, the beginning of Celtic coinage and the golden age of La Tène art are inseparable from the historical context of the 3rd century B.C.
