This is my design that pays homage to the Iron Age Celts! Specifically, the Celtic Chieftain, Brennus, and his horde of Celtic warriors who sacked Rome in 390 B.C. Its the only time Rome was sacked before the fall of the Roman Empire many centuries later. - After taking Rome, the Celts demanded an exorbitant amount of gold be paid as ransom for the city. As the Romans begrudgingly weighed out the gold to ransom, some Romans began to complain to Brennus that the weights being used were faulty in the Celts favor. - Hearing these whining, Roman gripes, Brennus jumped to his feet, threw his sword on the scale and bellowed in a guttural voice, “Vae Victis!” Or, “Woe to the Vanquished!” In other words, “What are you gonna do about it?!” The sacking of Rome and subsequent humiliation in 390 B.C. by Brennus left a psychological scar that the Romans never forgot, and it is theorized that this collective mental scarring would influence Julius Ceasar and Rome’s obsessive desire to conquer Gaul centuries later when Rome grew to super power status. - My artwork here depicts an Iron Age Celtic shield and various Iron Age Celtic implements of war that have been discovered by archaeologists and have unique and distinctive appearances. VAE VICTIS! 💪🏻 ➖ #celtichammerclub #celt #celtic #ironage #carnyx #hallstatt #latene #rome #roman #romanhistory #brennus #ancient #antiquity #vaevictis #woetothevanquished #originalart #spear #shield #sword #warrior #barbarian #heathen #oldways https://www.instagram.com/p/CbSW0A3LwM0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Behold these cult figurines! We suspect them to be depictions of gods and they're mostly to be found in the settlement areas of germanic, celtic and slavic tribes. People made these from the stone age up until the middle ages in different styles with different amounts of details. There are seven places in Germany where they found depictions like this. They're called "Pfahlgötter" in german by the way, which translates as "pole gods" :D I think I need some of these, gotta put 'em on my crafty to-do list! 💪 #pagan #heathen #asatru #paganism #asatro #heathenry #celts #germanic #pfahlgötter #latene #vikings #slavic #kelten #celtic #tradition #archaeology #gods #paganstyle #pagansofinstagram #medieval #mythology #norsemythology #celtes #norse #witchythings #kelter #keltarar #celta #woodwork #statue
