Celtic tribes were a collection of tribal societies that inhabited parts of Europe, particularly in regions that are now known as Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and France. These tribes, such as the Gauls and Britons, shared similar languages, customs, and beliefs, forming a rich cultural tapestry during the Iron Age. The social structure of Celtic tribes was often hierarchical, with chieftains leading their communities. They were known for their skilled craftsmanship, particularly in metalwork and textiles, and their vibrant oral traditions. The legacy of these tribes continues to influence modern Celtic identity and culture.
