	Celt - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Though the spread of the Roman empire led to continental Celts adopting Roman culture, the development of Celtic Christianity in Ireland and Britain brought an early medieval renaissance of Celtic art between 400 and 1200.
		A century later the defeat of the combined Samnite, Celtic and Etruscan alliance by the Romans in the Third Samnite War sounded the end of the Celtic domination in Europe, but it was not until 192 BC that the Roman armies conquered the last remaining independent Celtic kingdoms in Italy.
		While the regions under Roman rule adopted Christianity along with the rest of the Roman empire, unconquered areas of Scotland and Ireland moved from Celtic polytheism to Celtic Christianity which was a major source of missionary work in other parts of Britain and central Europe.

		Rather, B. surveys Greek and Roman involvement in Georgia from the dawn of Greek colonization to the Byzantine-Persian treaty of 562 without a unifying thesis, the comprehensive coverage promised (p.vii), and a proper conclusion to 314 pages of text.
		Discussion of Roman involvement in Georgia, beginning with the Third Mithridatic War, remains consistent with B.'s neglect of Western scholarship.
		Iberia has yielded numerous Greek and Aramaic inscriptions, on which B. refers only to Georgian scholarship, apparently unaware of Western discussions of the Greek inscriptions and many of the Aramaic.

		The Roman dagger, or Pugio, was almost always richly decorated, and this replica, by Hanwei, of a surviving museum piece is no exception.
		The Roman trooper typically carried at least one Pilum, a weapon as intrinsic to Roman combat tactics as the short sword.
		The Pilum had a long, relatively soft iron shaft which, though certainly capable of penetrating its intended target, was likely to bend on striking armor or the ground, thus making it useless to be thrown back.
