Let's say that the Carthaginians defeat the Romans at some point in the Punic Wars (pick your favorite POD to that end, doesn't really matter), but that they are never really able to project power north of Iberia and Italy. Now, even in the absence of the Roman Empire, there will be some cultural exchange between the Greeks and the people to the north, but let's say that no Greek-speaking polity expands or establishes itself beyond the OTL Balkans.
My point is, in the absence of much influence from Greece or Rome, can we project how the Celtic and Germanic emperor societies of Europe would have developed differently? Their culture? Their language? Their religion?
