The Gallaeci, a tribal complex in NW Iberia (modern Galicia, N. Portugal), lived in fortified hillforts called castros during the Iron Age. They crafted Intricate gold torcs, often w/ scotia terminals (renderings of these torcs can be seen on the monoliths found in this region.)

Monnaie gauloise frappée dans l'actuelle Normandie, avers/revers, Ier ou IIe siècle av. J.-C. (Bibliothèque nationale de France). Une partie de cette pièce représente un cheval au galop, qui est sur le point d'être chevauché par un grand rapace aux ailes déployées.

A small wooden sword preserved in the water from a house and courtyard complex around Porz-Lind. Dating from around 140 BC. The sword is generally interpreted as a toy, but it could also have been a training weapon for a young boy. Currently displayed in the Landesmuseum of Bonn.

Salt has always played a particularly important role in the economy of the ancient Celts. Whether extracting it from mines in the mountains or producing it by the sea in ponds. Salt was a highly valuable commodity, and its trade enabled families to become very powerful.
