La Tène: The Classical Celtic Iron Age
The La Tène culture, beginning around 500 BCE in the Alpine-Rhone area, marked the start of the classical Celtic Iron Age.
The Alpine-Rhone Area
The Alpine-Rhone area, where the La Tène culture originated, was a region of great cultural exchange. The Celts of this area were influenced by their neighbors, including the Etruscans, Greeks, and Scythians.
The Classical Celtic Iron Age
The La Tène period is often referred to as the Classical Celtic Iron Age. This era saw the Celts reach the height of their power and influence, with their territories stretching from Ireland and Britain in the west to Turkey in the east.
