| ARTICLES RELATED TO Celtic Sites | | | |  Celtic Sites: Encyclopedia II - Wiltshire - HistoryWiltshire is particularly well-known for its pre-Roman archaeology. The mesolithic, neolithic and bronze age Celtic tribes that occupied southern Britain built settlements on the hills and downland that cover Wiltshire. Stonehenge and Avebury are perhaps the most famous neolithic sites in the UK.
In the 6th and 7th centuries Wiltshire was at the western edge of Saxon Britain, as Cranborne Chase and the Somerset Levels prevented the advance to the west. In 878 the Danes invaded the county, and, following the Norman Conquest, large areas of the country fell into the hands of the ...

| | | | | Celtic Sites: Encyclopedia II - Genoa - History
Genoa - Ancient history.
Genoa's history goes back to ancient times. A city cemetery, dating from the 6th and 5th centuries B.C., testifies to the occupation of the site by the Greeks, but the fine harbor probably was in use much earlier, perhaps by the Etruscans. Destroyed by the Carthaginians in 209 BC, the town was rebuilt by Rome, under which the city enjoyed municipal rights and exported skins, wood, and honey. Although remaining faithful to Rome while other Ligurian and Celtic peoples of northern Italy stoo ...

| | | | | Celtic Sites: Encyclopedia II - Human sacrifice - Sacrifice in the classical world Ancient Greeks practiced human sacrifice; references exist to sacrifice of maidens to Artemis.
According to Roman sources, Phoenicians and Carthaginians sacrificed infants to their gods; since Carthaginians were rivals to Roman power in the Mediterranean, this information is also sometimes considered suspect. However, the bones of numerous infants have been found in Carthaginian archaeological sites in modern times.
Early Romans practiced various forms of human sacrifice in their first centuries; from Etruscans (or, according t ...

Rijeka - Ancient and medieval times.
Though traces of Neolithic settlements can be found in the region, the earliest settlements on the site were Celtic Tarsatica (modern Trsat, now part of Rijeka) on a hill and the tribe of mariners, the Liburni in the natural harbor below. The city long retained this double character.
In the time of Augustus, the Romans refounded Tarsatica as a municipium (MacMullen 2000) on the right bank of the Rijecina, (whose name simply means "river") as Flumen. ...

In South Shields (Latin 'Arbeia', Anglo-Saxon 'Caer Urfa), excavations and a reconstructed fort are found at Arbeia (AD 160). This fort served as a garrison and an outpost of the Roman Empire, and is part of Hadrian's Wall World Heritage Site. The hospitality strip at Ocean Road is famed throughout the re ...

| | | | | Celtic Sites: Encyclopedia II - St. Asaph - History The town is believed to have developed around a 6th-century Celtic monastery founded by Saint Kentigern, and is now home to the small 14th-century St. Asaph Cathedral, the smallest in Britain. This is dedicated to Saint Asaph, its second bishop. In the 13th century, the church which stood on the site of the current cathedral was completely destroyed by Edward I of England and his troops as they conquered Wales.
As the seat of an ancient cathedral and diocese, St. Asaph historically had city status. The 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica refers to it as a city, bu ...

| | | | | | Celtic Sites: Encyclopedia II - Hainburg an der Donau - History The first settlers in the area were the Illyrians and the Celtic people, who lived in Braunsburg. The today's city is next to ancient Roman settlement of Carnuntum, the capital of the province of Pannonia, where Marcus Aurelius once resided.
Emperor Henry III ordered to built a castle here in 1050.
The town had 2 gates, 15 towers, and a 2.5 km wall in the 13th century.
The castle in 1108 belonged to the Babenbergers.
In the second half of the 12th century, Richard the Lionheart built the castle along with the Viennese gate around 1220 to 1225. The lower part wasn' ...

| | | | | | Celtic Sites: Encyclopedia II - Mitcham - History The name "Mitcham" is Anglo-Saxon in origin and is believed to mean big settlement. Even before the Romans and Saxons were present, there was a Celtic settlement in the area, with evidence of a fort being located in the Pollards Hill area.
The discovery of Roman-era graves and a well on the site of the Mitcham gas works evince Roman settlement.
The Saxon graveyard, located on the North bank of the Wandle is the largest discovered to date, and many of the finds therein are on display in the British Museum. The area is a possible location for the Battle of Merton, 871, in which King Ethelred of Wessex was either m ...

| | | | | | | Celtic Sites: Encyclopedia II - History of Paris - Ancient Paris The area of modern Paris has been inhabited since at least the fourth millennium BC, although little is known about these early inhabitants. The first known permanent settlement on the site was founded about 250 BC by a Celtic tribe called the Parisii, who established a fishing village on the Seine island that was later to become the Ile de la Cité. This was known as Lutetia, a name first recorded by Julius Caesar in his Gallic Wars.
Lutetia was a prosperous place and occupied a very strategic position on the river, controllin ...

| | | | | Celtic Sites: Encyclopedia II - History of Limerick - Viking origins The earliest provable settlement dates from 812; however, history suggests the presence of earlier settlements in the area surrounding King's Island, the island at the historical city centre. Antiquity's map-maker, Ptolemy, produced in 150 the earliest map of Ireland, showing a place called "Regia" at the same site as King's Island. History also records an important battle involving Cormac Mac Airt in 221 and a visit by St. Patrick in 434 to baptise an Eoghanacht Chief, Carthann the Fair. [Spellissy 98] The name Luimneach dates from at least 561, and probably ...

| | | | | Celtic Sites: Encyclopedia II - History of Vienna - Roman beginnings and early middle ages As is shown by the pre-Latin, the Celtic name for the civilian settlement in the area was Vindobona, which demonstrates that the region must have been inhabited even in pre-Roman times. The Romans created a military camp (occupied by Legio X Gemina) during the 1st century on the site of the Innere Stadt of present-day Vienna. The settlement was raised to the status of a municipium in 212. Even today, the streets of the First District show where the enc ...

| | | | | Celtic Sites: Encyclopedia II - Lyon - History Lyon was founded as a Roman colony in 43 BC by Munatius Plancus, a lieutenant of Caesar, on the site of a Gaulish hill-fort settlement called Lug[o]dunon—from the Celtic sun god Lugus ('Light', cognate to Old Irish Lugh, Modern Irish Lú) and dúnon (hill-fort). The name was latinised as Lugdunum; Lug was equated by the Romans to Mercurius. Lug's 'totem' was a cock (rooster), hence the Modern French association with 'le coq'.
The three parts of Gaul mentioned by Caesar met at Lyon. Agrippa recognized that Lugdun ...

It was christianized in 686 by the Irish missionary Kilian, and the city is first mentioned as Vurteburch in 704. The first diocese was founded by St. Bonifatius in 742.
