>Romans were evil invaders! >They perpetuated crimes and massacres against the Celtic peoples and other native inhabitants of Britain! >Rome only wanted to exploit and abuse the British people!
I think the funniest thing to me is that she somehow believes these were isolated events in antiquity and that these sort of events didn't happen in other lands with other cultures invading their neighbors or foreign lands.
>we shouldn't have stood a chance >implying she's celtic Hohoho
Christopher Ward
>lady that's where everything fails: they cannot spare sentimentalism
Isaac Richardson
Well native Brits pretty much are still Celts even with the Saxon blood
David Reed
With saxon then later dane then later norman How much is there celt really left in brits?
Joshua Turner
Wasn't the invasion and colonization of the British isles by the Romans in the long run extremely important for the English people?
Justin Johnson
then later nigger, then later curry then later paki then later syrian
Ryder King
Reminder Boudica is fucking retarded.
Austin Powell
Were the Romans really evil like this lady is painting them to be?
Carson Johnson
The Romans were very very evil and the Celts didn't do nuffin
Xavier Harris
This is WEWUZ as fuck.
Lincoln Wright
Why is there a dead goblin between the Roman and Celt?
Thomas Nelson
Proto-Scoti.
Ryan Anderson
So irish or pict?
Isaac Cruz
Yes.
Jason Lopez
Explain to me as an Englishmen how she's wrong
Aaron Wright
>people cross from across the contenant into your home >demand taxes >kill those who resist >send off prisoners to be slaves and fight in their death arenas why wouldn't the Romans be considered the aggressors in this? local Celts were ding fuck all.
Benjamin Taylor
50-90%, depending on where
Xavier Sanchez
Like doing human sacrifices on each other and living in their own shit?
Connor Nelson
>le everything that wasn't Latin or Hellenic in Europe was stone age nice meme
Gavin Foster
Scots, welsh and irish are celtic Anglo-Saxons are not
Benjamin Brooks
Butthurt Ango "Celtic" detected. Go away Boudica, there aren't any defenseless Roman villages to massacre here.
Joshua Campbell
Weren't half of our ancestors living in Northern Germany, Frisia and Jutland at the time? Not Britain?
>le must be an Italian meme for defending Romans Okay, Hans.
Nicholas James
>Living in their own shit
You know Celts were famous for being really clean and using this weird fatty stuff they called soap right, don't you.
Eli Nguyen
Why Hans?
Jace Ramirez
Those were the Gauls, not the average Celtic tribe in Britain.
Jackson Ward
No, just mainland European Celts i.e. the Gauls. Ceasar noted unlike those in Britain or the Germanic tribes in Northern Europe, the Gauls were civilized, orderly, and sedentary. They had established towns, forts, and networks of roads and pathways and believed in free trade.
Zachary Jackson
Why Luigi?
Eli Mitchell
>implying I'm Celtic Teutoberg Forest best day of my life
Just calling it as I see it Jose.
Hudson Russell
Cimbarian War best day of my life.
>Jose Getting desperate there.
Gabriel Evans
>No true scotsman meme
Well the picture is of an Irish Celt. And I'm pretty sure the practice was in Britain as well. If you're going to bother applying woad you might as well get washed first.
Leo Flores
>They had established towns, forts, and networks of roads and pathways and believed in free trade.
As did the ones in Britain.
Oliver Evans
Wasn't the initial reason for Tome even giving to Britain because they kept sending troops to the Gauls during their war with the Empire?
One could then argue that the invasion and subsequent colonization was in retaliation.
Sebastian Walker
Well Luigi is a stereotypical Italian name.
Ryan Lewis
The ones in Britain were NOWHERE approaching the level of development in Gaul.
Julian Harris
1. She's a MILF 2. She is technically right, the Romans weren't exactly nice people by todays standards
James Barnes
Prove it.
Until then I disagree. At least not NOWHERE near.
Brody Jenkins
She talks about the Romans by today's modern standards but applies them to antiquity/classic period which is fucking retarded.
>there were actual goblins during the roman invasion of britain Really makes me think
Xavier Torres
>The ones in Britain were NOWHERE approaching the level of development in Gaul. If you're talking about urbanism then oppida in both Gaul and Britain were only ever notionally 'towns', the only notable difference between British and continental oppida is that some Gallic ones had walls designed by Greek engineers. The Celtic World by Cunliffe is a good start, as is the essay Greeks, Etruscans and Thirsty Barbarians which is about trade and proto-urbanism in Hallstatt and La Tene Europe
Carson Scott
I'm still the only one to provide a source user.
Where are these 'words of Caesar' saying they were no where near as advanced as Gaul.
Hunter Miller
>goblin
they prefer the term "KANGZ".
Carter Roberts
>You have low standards. you gay m8
Shes hot and likes history
Liam Wilson
He's talking about Caesar going through Gallic oppida (fortified trading settlements) and noting that there weren't any in the bits of Britain that he visited Similar things did exist in Britain but they generally took the form of hill forts, which were more poly-functional in a sense and the defenses were more based around canalising attackers in earthworks rather than the extensive walls that existed in the continent
Joseph Nguyen
>classic butter face Banging body? Sure. Hot? Hell no.
John Smith
you should know that Veeky Forums is made up mostly of man-children who have mommy issues.
Cooper Gonzalez
It's from a small indie game called Nethergate where Romans and celts duke it out in a valley filled with all the magical shit in the world making their escape from here.
Cooper Martin
Its okay user, I knew what he was talking about, I was just trying to make him look stupid when he shows how ridiculously he's exaggerating.
Hillforts weren't the only defensive architecture though, there were towers called Brochs (some of which are still partially standing) and other such things as well.
Joshua Gutierrez
>there were towers called Brochs I was talking about the south mostly, because obviously Caesar only really bimbled around the south east for a bit before fucking off
Leo Evans
And then there's whatever Stonehenge and similar stone circles were.
Brandon Phillips
You didn't make anyone look stupid, my autistic friend.
Dominic Stewart
scottish people are in fact anglo for the largw part, some parts of scotland even used to be english
Carson Diaz
la tene and halstatt were not celtic
Michael Cook

Jace Evans
>Human sacrifice >The celts fought brutal wars amongst each other in which they did far more barbaric things to each other >She's still salty about an event that almost happened 2,000 years ago
You're me ashamed to be a bong with that statement, stop it.
Jackson King
>a bloo bloo bloo muh ancient empires so evil and ruined my ancestors lives
People are fucking dumb and impose the same standards on empires ages ago as they do on modern democracies now and they actually act like they had anything to do with ancient peoples who they have no fucking association with what so ever. If the barbarians in Briton wanted to they would have raped and slaughtered the romans and they actually did on occasion.
Nicholas Edwards
The only reason Boudica managed any sort of fame was because she specifically targeted under defensed and undermanned Roman forts and colonias. When she actually fought a proper Roman force, she got her shit kicked in and the anvil fell for good on the Celts.
Jeremiah Morales
Boudica got her ass handed to her even though she outnumbered the romans at least 10 to 1. She was a fucking awful general
Wyatt Kelly
Isn't it sort of justified by Boudica and her generals getting cocky from butchering a bunch of Roman colonials and civilians and then send her entire force uphill to engage the rooms in some some hilly environment where they got tired, flanked, and slaughtered?
What pisses me off about Hughes is how she pushes Boudica as some kind of super hero icon to modern women and feminism and that she was a woman who was justified doing what she was doing because she and her daughters were raped? Mind you Hughes also downplays a certain pair of Celtic warlord brothers who harried and caused more difficulty with a small group of warriors in the initial stages of the Roman invasion then anything Boudica ever did.
Jace Kelly
Also to add, Boudica is recorded letting her men rape Roman women and girls as well and inflicting torture and gruesome executions on Roman civilian populations as well. I think the English historian lady here has very obvious agenda and its kind of sickening.
Levi Flores
Boudica was a cocky retard, she never won an actual battle against an equal enemy
>hey lets go slaughter and rape romans >oh shit an actual roman army that's alright because we have like 200k people and they have 10k >oh did I forget to mention I brought literally all my people and all my tribes with me event the children >oh shit we got our ass kicked by an actual competent general and troops >people 2000 years later start bitching about the roman injustices
Christian Watson
I never see fantasy settings with classic age civilizations instead of medieval shittery
Tell me more
Ryder Green
I love nethergates. It's a classical RPG by spidweb. You create a party of 4, and battles are grid based. You start out as either roman or celts, and the story/quests is different for each side. Romans are better at weaponry, and celts are better at magic. Your main goal is to basically infiltrate the other side.
Thomas Hernandez
Fuck off chauvinists.
Gavin Butler
And here it is friends, this is what a defeated user without a leg to stand on looks like. Right here .

Cimbrian War didn't stop the inevitable :^)
Robert Martinez
No, but it did see the total genocide of three or so massive Germanic tribes. : ^)
William Davis
And later the wholesale fall of Rome
Chase Parker
After liking getting their asses kicked for 600 more years. Whatever you say, dude.
Ryder Moore
That only happened after black moors taught them, actually.
John Rodriguez
>basically right on Roman Gaul's doorstep >BTFO when trying to invade >BTFO when invaded Germanics >>>>>>> Rome
David Baker
but Rome was allied to numerous native tribes and Claudius was declared a God there
Logan Perry
Do you realize how many wars the Germanic tribes have lost against Rome?
Jaxson Fisher
>even at the weakest state and most declined economically and military, Germanics still ran to Rome to save them from big bad Attila
Ian Phillips
All for naught desu :^)
Lucas King
hmm obviously not since Islam reached north africa 600 years after the Romans observed celts using soap, not sure what you're playing at
Jacob Parker
