Historical context and quick facts
“Celtic” and “Germanic” are broad labels that changed over time, often shaped by language families and by how Greek and Roman authors categorized outsiders.
Archaeology (such as La Tène material culture) and texts (like Caesar or Tacitus) don’t always align neatly, which makes the topic ideal for practicing evidence-based thinking.
Tips for getting more out of the questions
If you miss an item, note whether it was a geography issue (where), a chronology issue (when), or a source issue (who said it), then retry similar questions to reinforce the pattern.
Balancing quick recall with source awareness will help you avoid common traps, especially when names and tribal groupings overlap across centuries.
