  1. What will happen if ancient pagan Celtic males never invented tartan, plaid, and the kilt?

    What if ancient pagan tribal Celtic males never invented tartan, plaid, and the kilt? It's obvious that this will affect the history of private highschool female student uniforms’ lower body clothes GREATLY because this means that tartan, plaid, kilts, and the folded pleated skirts inspired by...
  2. Would they still have been able to invent these skirts and these patterns?

    Is it possible that the folded pleated(whose style is folded knife pleats) skirt and tartan patterns would still be independently invented by 21st century AD modern fashion designers and be used in highschools(for female students) even if Celtic peoples never invented them?
  3. AHC: Majority redheaded nation

    Your challenge is to create a majority readheaded nation, and although post 1900 scenarios would be completely acceptable I am posting in pre simply becaue there is a longer time span to work with this way :) Do some alternate colonisation shenanigans happen?

  4. AHC: Make a Celtic-Norse Britain

    With a POD no earlier than 388 AD, make the Celts/Romano-British push away the Saxons and stay dominant over Britain, later turning into a Celtic-Norse hybrid culture. Also, how do you see a Britain like this developing?
  5. What would a surviving Celtic Britain look like?

    Instead of just Wales (which is a direct survival of Celtic culture in Britain), the Brythonic culture that dominated the island from the Iron Age to the 600s, continues and the territory that we now call "England" retains its Celtic nature. This could happen in three ways 1 - No Anglo Saxon...

    Aed Catuvellaunii broke down to his knees as he stared at the remnants of what had been Fort Tamesas. Vespasian trotted upto him and dismounted his horse surrounded by three centurions.

  8. Anglo migration across north America without the Industrial revolution?

    Without the Industrial revolution and its subsequent cheap human shipping between Europe and America and ending of subsistence agriculture how does the Anglo-Celtic migration across north America proceed. Would a lack of railways prevent commercial agriculture away from the...
  9. Celts in Spain

    In this timeline we'll take a look at a scenario which would result in a continued presense of Celts in Northwest Spain up to the modern day. As many of you know Celtic was the first indo-european language spoken in the Iberian pennisula prior to Rome's Latinization of the penninsula. There was...
  10. Q: Which was the state of Celtic Paganism during the Roman period?

    I'm a bit confused about this topic. Was Celtic Paganism classified as religio licita or illicita? I got conflicting informations: some Celtic traditions survived and were accepted* (Epona.) and others not really (Druids**?). What I want to understand is whether Celtic Paganism was completely...
  11. What would the society of the Middle Ages be like in a celtic Europe?

    Imagine that Rome was a Celtic city that managed to develop and conquer the meditarranean. Over time this Empire suffers the same fate that in our timeline, is divided and the western part falls. What would a Middle Ages be like in this situation? How would society be? The government systems...

    WI: Ariovistus defeats the Romans

    Back in the late 60's BCE, there was a long-standing rivalry within Celtic Gaul between the Aedui, who were building an empire of sorts, and the Sequani and Arverni, who were, in turn, threatened by the expansion of the (Roman-allied) Aedui. The latter party invited a king of the Suebi Germanic...

    AHC: United Celtiberia

    Just as the title says, unite the Celtiberian tribes. Likely against Rome or Carthage. I don't exactly expect this Union/Confederation to last very long but if you can make it last, that's even better.

    Celts Spread Further

    The Celts in our timeline had spread as far as Galatia in Anatolia. What if they went further then Anatolia like Persia, North Africa, Arabia, and/or the Asian steppes, maybe further? How could they affect the cultures and peoples of their new neighbors? Could we see modern Celto-Africans...

    WI: Carthage Influences Gaul

    Say the Carthaginians win the Second Punic War and just to avoid a Third Punic War they conquer Rome. Several years later they conquer Massilia for control over the Mediterranean. At this point, Carthage is the undisputed master of the Mediterranean once more. Now, with a Punic city that close...
  18. AHC: Celtic Dominated British Isles

    How can the British Isles be dominated by a Celtic state or states? How would this state's society evolve differently than England's? No POD before the fall of Rome is allowed.

    Celtic Anatolia

    How could a Celtic Anatolia come about? I'm aware of the Galatia tribe, but how much of an influence did they really have? Could Galatia have had more of an influence to leave a more Celtic influenced Anatolia? Thank you for your responses.
  20. WI: Bretons settled in Anglo-Saxon territory?

    In the 5th and 6th centuries, post-Roman Britons settled Brittany and Galicia. What if they had instead settled eastern England as mercenaries for the Saxons, perhaps re-Celtifying part of the east? Notably, the area of Londinium itself had been abandoned despite the building of Lundenwic...
