charge to wipe out there opponents. They used
spears and swords in battle. They were normally

get a fancy sword if you were not good you`d
get a not so fancy sword.

Celtic Story
One time one of the Celts leaders was killed by
a Roman leader. The Celts were angry so they
marched into Rome and demanded the Romans
give them the leader. Rome said “no”. The Celts
were super angry. They went into Rome and
defeated a Roman army on the way. They
demanded gold; in fear the Romans agreed.
Then Brennos, the Celtic leader said “vae
victos.” which means woe to the defeated.
The Celts then left not harming anyone except
those who stood in their way.
That is why the Romans called the Celts barbarians.
Another Celtic Story
There once was a little Celtic boy who had a
sling shot. He was separated from his father but
the father still remembered what he looked like.
Sadly the boy did not remember what the
father looked like. One day the boy was playing
his sling shot when his father walked with
other soldiers and the king. The king wanted to
kill the boy because he accidentally shot his
sling shot and it almost hit the King. The first
soldier went over with his sword and demanded
the boy fight. The boy agreed and they began to fight.
The boy pulled out his sling shot and fired a rock at
the soldier. The boy had won! The second soldier was
knocked down as well. The boy’s father was ordered to kill the boy.
The boy’s father noticed that it was his son. The father remembered
what the king had said and being loyal to the king; the boy’s father
grabbed the boy and put his head in the lake. The boy died.
Down Fall
The downfall of the Celts was because of three
reasons. First was due to old age. Second was due to
the fact that a few Celts died because the Romans
killed them. The third reason was because about one
third of the Celts wanted to kill the other one third
and they died.
