Il y a aussi ses commentaires à propos de Cuba, du Vénézuéla et de la Russie. Il a une position très similaire à Mélenchon ou Rima Hassan je trouve.

Mouais, vu les messages de Mamdani à propos d'Anwar al-Awlaki (attribuant la faute à la surveillance du FBI s'il est devenu terroriste) et de Lee Rigby (questionnant fortement si c'était un acte terroriste en reprenant l'argumentaire de Glenn Greenwald), j'ai quand même un mauvais pressentiment.

Case tirée d'Astérix, où Astérix et Obélix présentent sur une table des mets provenant de toute la Gaule.

Je me permets de partager ici une version actualisée d'un fil initialement publié sur Twitter il y a quelques années au sujet "brûlant" : est-il plus pertinent de parler de la Gaule ou des Gaules ? Existait-il une unité gauloise à l’époque de l’Indépendance ? #Antiquités 🏺 #AncientBluesky

So explain to me why Ireland is labeled with a clear "No" while S. Portugal is "Partial". Proportionally to the amount of archaeological finds in Ireland, there is a significant number of La Tène items. Even militaria.

La Tène material culture is at least defined by a package of different elements, which is mostly coherent over a large area. The only thing that's La Tène in Portugal is a few items. Nothing more. Southern Britain was much more impacted by the La Tène culture.

Yes but the Celtiberians are probably not very La Tène either. Even their militaria is only slightly influenced by La Tène and mostly at the end of their independence. The Celtiberian language derives probably from a much older split, maybe from the Late Bronze Age.

Sure, but a culture is not exclusively defined by the militaria. In Portugal, the architecture, the adornments, the pottery style do not show much influence from the La Tène sphere. I could argue Northern Germany, Denmark and Poland is partially La Tène otherwise. If the militaria is so important.

I understand but that's putting them on the same level as Southern Britain, which I find extremely wrong.

La Tène weapons are mostly located in North-Eastern Iberia, in a purely Iberian milieu. The Celtiberians are only second. Portugal is mostly anecdotic. [Geographical distribution of La Tène influence weapons found in the Iberian Peninsula.]

The Tylis kingdom in Thrace is associated to the Gauls by Polybius (4.46).

La Tène material culture in S. Portugal and central Spain? That's not correct from a typological pov.

The Melsonby hoard, or about 1-2% of it, is currently on display at the entrance of the Yorkshire Museum for fundraising to purchase the find. Stunning late Iron Age metalwork deposit, dominated by horse & vehicle fittings. Visited on Tuesday, & blown away by it!

A small wooden sword preserved in the water from a house and courtyard complex around Porz-Lind. Dating from around 140 BC. The sword is generally interpreted as a toy, but it could also have been a training weapon for a young boy. Currently displayed in the Landesmuseum of Bonn.
