The Celts • The Celts were a group of people that
occupied …. (the) British Isles. • The Romans followed the Celts in conquering Britain. Caesar wrote, “All
the Britons (Celts) dye their bodies with woad, which produces a blue color, and this gives them a more terrifying appearance in battle. They wear their hair long, and shave the whole of their bodies except the head and the upper lip”(Leeming 7).
