The Galatians were in their origin a part of that great Celtic migration which invaded Macedonia, led by the 'second' Brennus, a Gaulish chief.

On the death of the third king Amyntas in 25 BCE, however, Galatia was incorporated by Augustus in the Roman empire, and few of the provinces proved more enthusiastically loyal to Rome.

So here we have an indicator that, even with the con- tamination certain to have occurred, a 60's BCE date is more than a little certain.
