The Celts inhabited central and western Europe beginning around the fifth century B.C. While they lived in groups in different areas, the Celts shared a common language, religion, and culture. They created beautiful artwork, making distinctive jewelry, decorated weapons, ceramics, and glass. Later, most of the groups were overtaken by the ancient Romans.
