Sir Barry Cunliffe has been Professor of European Archaeology at the University of Oxford for 35 years and is a Fellow of the British Academy. In this talk, he discusses his book "The Scythians: Nomad Warriors of the Steppe.” Brilliant horsemen and great fighters, the Scythians were nomadic horsemen who ranged wide across the grasslands of the Asian steppe from the Altai mountains in the east to the Great Hungarian Plain in the first millennium BCE. Their steppe homeland bordered on a number of sedentary states to the south - the Chinese, the Persians and the Greeks - and there were inevitably numerous interactions between the nomads and their neighbors. The Scythians fought the Persians on a number of occasions, in one battle killing their king and on another occasion driving the invading army of Darius the Great from the steppe. Relations with the Greeks around the shores of the Black Sea were rather different - both communities benefited from trading with each other. This led to the development of a brilliant art style, often depicting scenes from Scythian mythology and everyday life.  It is from the writings of Greeks like the historian Herodotus that we learn of Scythian life: their beliefs, their burial practices, their love of fighting, and their ambivalent attitudes to gender. It is a world that is also brilliantly illuminated by the rich material culture recovered from Scythian burials, from the graves of kings on the Pontic steppe, with their elaborate gold work and vividly coloured fabrics, to the frozen tombs of the Altai mountains, where all the organic material - wooden carvings, carpets, saddles and even tattooed human bodies - is amazingly well preserved. Barry Cunliffe here marshals this vast array of evidence - both archaeological and textual - in a masterful reconstruction of the lost world of the Scythians, allowing them to emerge in all their considerable vigor and splendor for the first time in over two millennia.

We will begin to zoom in on the situation in Ireland and how a certain bishop named Palladius was bishop in Ireland well before the venerable St. Patrick. •With that, here is the next piece of the mosaic of the history of the Popes of Rome and Christian Church.Begin Transcript:[00:00:00] Welcome back to our next episode in a series on the Celts and Christianity and early medieval, Ireland and Northern Britain. We are going to dive into the fascinating story of a group of people that lived all over Europe. The counts have grabbed the interest of history fans throughout. History, we will explore the history of the Celts and how that history helped them put a unique spin on Christianity.And I am so happy to be joined again by our guy that Dr. Carly McNamara of the university of Glasgow, Scotland, Dr. McNamara completed her PhD and Celtic with a focus on early medieval, Ireland and Scotland. Now, um, we have a previous episode. Our last episode was. Very broad overview of the kelp. So if you're really interested in that and you want to hear the background, definitely go back and listen to this.But I think a lot of these standalone, even though they do build on each other, but again, it's always up to [00:01:00] you or how you want to listen to them. We discussed this a little bit in that last episode, if you listened to, but we're going to talk a little bit more about those. And the term Cal was originally a language term that reference people who spoke a Celtic language, but it has come to be used in an extremely broad way that doesn't precisely line up with the evidence who can we consider a calc.And why is that term calc? Uh, kind of problematic? Yeah, this is a great question. And one, I think. Good to go over again. And again, just because of how widespread this term CELT is. So as you said, it was first considered a language marker. And we got into a little bit last time about kind of, we don't know exactly where it originated.We know the Greeks and the Romans used it, but we don't know what it was originally intended to mean or where exactly it came from. But these [00:02:00] days. It means so much to so many different people, so we can consider it as we already said a language marker. So does that mean that anyone who speaks a Celtic language is a CELT.So if I lived in Japan, but I spoke fluent well, Would that make me account? Um, another question is, is anyone who makes Celtic art a CELT, but then we have the question. What do we understand as Celtic art that which is seen in the modern viewpoint today with all of the network and stuff like you see in the book of Kells is actually a medieval style that was influenced by sex and artistic styles.So there's even questions there. We can also ask is anyone who lives in a Celtic land? Uh, CELT, you know, we talked about how widely spread the Celts were in the last episode. And today we consider Ireland and Scotland Celtic lands, but our early Greek and Roman sources never call these areas. Celtic, not, not even Wales or [00:03:00] Cornwall or the isle of man, all of these places we think of as Celtic today, weren't called that by our original sources.They had their own terms. How far back. Can we go on these as well? So we can think about Celtic music. Um, what, what might we consider Celtic music? And we have this as a broad theme, and you can think of all of the heirs and, and really beautifully moving pieces that we have as Celtic music today. But where does that come from?Where do we find the very beginnings of it? So at this point, it seems that for as imprecise and unwieldy as the term Celtic is we have to recognize that it's not going away in popular history and that we just have to work with and around it. So if we can't really posit a single cohesive definition of Celtic, how then are we to consider the possible existence of a quote [00:04:00] Celtic Christianity?So my short answer is that we, can't not really to add to that a bit. When we talk about, you know, quote Celtic, Christianity, we're really just talking about Christianity in Ireland or Christianity as practiced by the Irish, regardless of their location, such as in Scotland or on the continent. I mean, that, that's really how this term has come to be understood, even though it's such a broad term.Caltech. So we see the term further being coined to imply a lack of orthodoxy and the Christianity of Ireland or in other places like Scotland, which is further a problematic position to take, considering that the powers of the church and the papacy specifically during the early medieval period were not nearly so codified and strong as it later becomes.And as we view it today. So when we think of the papacy. You know, as it is today, we have a tendency to kind of take [00:05:00] this modern conception and place it in the earlier times that we're thinking about and that's incorrect. So we have to try to avoid that. So all that to say, basically that you won't find me using the term Celtic Christianity at all.And I recommend that it be retired from our vocabulary and replaced with more specific references to the church in Ireland or the church in Britain or whatever we're actually talking about. Yeah. It's kind of interesting. It seems like it's a convenience that works and really, really, really broad strokes.

I, something that kind of came into my mind is we have Caltech as a term. Then we have Cesar would have called them galls, or he often referred to them as galls. And then you have the people who are living up in Ireland and Britain that are being called something different. How are all these names and all these different terms for them in our related?What, uh, if somebody, uh, back in the day, if somebody likes Caesar would count in golf, Ben's a synonym for him. And then the, what was happening up in Britain, would he have considered that as something completely different and just using Caesar as maybe an, uh, an architect. Yeah, that's an excellent point.So it's really seems like the Greek world used helps help toy as their term, the Latin world, or the Romans used this kelp Ty, um, gall, golly word. And so we, as I [00:01:00] said, we don't ever really see Britain and Ireland call. Like, they're not called gall. They're not called golly. You know, we've got this Hibernia and Hibernia is what Ireland is frequently called.We also see Ireland called Scotty. And that kind of seems to be a word that means something similar to pirate almost. Would it make sense as we see kind of rating happening from Ireland into Roman Britain. And then we've got in the far north of Britain, the Pixies are all Celtic language peoples, but the Roman sources never really called them as such.They call the about Britannia or the pretending Isles when they're searching for 10 there's abundant tin in Britain. And. You know, the word Britain itself comes from a Celtic word pride. And, but there's some kind of separation between gall and pre-tenure Hibernia that I'm not quite [00:02:00] sure how that is.Understood the Celts. What did they, um, look like to the Romans at least into our sources, uh, physically and then their material culture? Sure. So the men, as I've mentioned, tend to have. Long hair that were told that they washed their hair with lime and would style it by commenting it coming at straight back from their forehead towards the back of the neck.So it was kind of long just combed back here with these long mustaches. They sometimes mentioned that, you know, the food would get stuck in their mustaches and they were totally fine with it. Um, so you can see from sculpture in Scotland that the higher status figures on some of the sculpture is those that has the longer hair, the bigger mustache.So kind of the long haired guys are the important guys. They get the fancier clothing and the better. Arms and armor on this sculpture, which is, I think quite [00:03:00] amusing they're described as rather large people and that the women would stand right next to the men in battle that they would wear colorful clothing and would adorn themselves with gold, lots of gold.And that they would wear trousers and tunics and even the women wore trousers. And to next it's interesting. I don't know where I read this. I'll have to go back and look, but I believe that something that the counts are, those groups invented trousers or pants. I've heard that, but I've not seen the evidence for it.So that's one of those things that maybe. We'll have to do some research on and see if we can track down any source evidence for that, because it seems like kind of a silly of invention, you know, like all pants, but pants are kind of a big leap, like for riding horses and for doing a lot of things, they're a lot more practical than wearing a tunic or especially in a cold weather situation.I want to believe that they invented [00:04:00] pants where we're going to have to look into that one more thing. So. Now we have Caltech culture and I think everybody has very certain ideas in their mind. What are maybe some of the w w the more wild or claims about them? Yeah, I think this is a good one. And I want to mention really quick before we get into this.You know, thinking of this colonization is imperialism that Rome is, you know, pushing out into these Celtic lands, that they had a vested interest in making these kind of brash, broad brush claims about the enduring and unchangeable nature of these peoples that they're trying to. Control and bring them quote, unquote civilization.So we want to keep all of that in mind and that kind of concept we can even take into the modern period when we're thinking [00:05:00] about, you know, American imperialism or British imperialism, what kind of similar vested interests peoples and governments had and these same perspectives. So one of the big ones is that the Celts were violence and war loving.Um, again, this is pretty typical. Almost any kind of Western attempts to justify a violent takeover of other people, which we can see in the Americas, Africa, Australia, Micronesia, kind of all over the place. So the Romans claimed that the behavior that Celtic peoples exhibit. In response to Roman aggression was actually an overarching and unchanging cultural characteristic that was kind of frozen in time.And this is where the idea of the barbarian was useful. You know, the Celts were described as primitive, animalistic, unable to control their emotions and thus divorced from the historical current. In which [00:06:00] these interactions with Rome occurred, they're also called melodramatic drunken. Like they just loves to drink and would drink to excess and to the point that they would get into fights that would ultimately lead in.Um, there's a story that claimed that any baby that was born to a Celtic, a woman, and man would be washed in the Rhine and that the dad wouldn't claim the child as its own until the baby had successfully been washed in the Rhine, um, that they. Would build these large structures. If you

We are going to dive into a fascinating story of a group of people that lived all over Europe. The counts have grabbed the interest of history fans throughout the history. We will explore the history of the camp.And how that history helped to put a unique spin on Christianity. And this series is going to be very special. We are going to be guided through this history of the Celts and Celtic Christianity, which we will talk about that term with the help of Dr. Carli McNamara of the university of Glasgow, Scotland, Dr.McNamara completed her PhD in Caltech with a focus on early medieval, Ireland and Scotland. Dr McNamara. Can you tell us a little bit of how you got interested in this particular subject? Sure. I [00:01:00] think, you know, as a child, I was really interested in stories and mythologies and that kind of got into classical Roman and Greek history like you do.And through that, I kind of found Renaissance history and then backtrack a bit into the medieval period. And once I found myself there, I realized that. Rather interested in what was going on in Ireland and Britain and kind of places outside the Roman empire. And these are really places that we can kind of see some, you know, existence beyond, you know, Roman times or what we think of as the fall of the Western Roman empire.And I find that really engaging. And so that's kind of how I've ended up here. That's so cool. I think I, I think that fascination and it's just going to help us so much with your expertise and your passion. It's going to really help us in this a great series. We have planned [00:02:00] today. We're going to start with.Sort of a 10,000 foot introduction to the Celts, their place and time and geography. We'll also talk about their language, the archeology they left and behind their cultures, and just a general overview of who these people are as a people. So I guess the best place to maybe start off as what is the geographical range?Area, we're kind of talking about here of where the, this people exist. Yeah. That's a great question. And I think it's really valuable to start there, especially considering when we, as maybe popular consumers of history, think of like, We're mostly thinking of, you know, Scotland and Ireland, but the reality of where they were goes as far as Anatolia in Turkey, in the east and down into the Spanish peninsula, Liberian, Sila, and modern day spin in Portugal.Now we've got Celtic [00:03:00] language, of course, in Britain, you know, north and Marvin bay, England as well as Ireland. So they're really. All over this European continent and even into what we now think of as the middle east. And I think that's really valuable to help kind of break down that notion of where the Celts.You know, they're in central Germany's, they're in Switzerland, they're just all over the place. And I think that's, what's really fascinating is that there's, it's a people that have such a why and spread geography, but we kind of attach that label counts to them. What does this word mean? Count mean and where does it come from?Yeah, that's a great point as well. The word we think of today, Celts comes from a Greek word, Kel toy, which was a language marker that talk about people who seek this Celtic Kel toy language. And as far as what exactly that means in Greek, [00:04:00] we're really not sure. We do know that in Latin, they talked about gall as being the language and Gallic being the language there and you also get Caltech.As the term and Caesar does tell us in his develop Gallico that the Celts did refer to themselves as kelp Tai. And we see that, um, fits in a bit with how Celtic languages work. We've got the bell jive as a tribe. So we kind of see that linguistic connection happening. Much deeper than that. Unfortunately, we don't have a lot of did that count name?Is that something that the group, so are, do the scholars think that the Greeks took that name as something that they were using themselves? Or was that a name, a term that had a meaning in Greek? I think it's likely that it could have come from the Celts themselves. You know, if we're thinking of the Greeks and how they [00:05:00] engage with external peoples, we'll say, you know, they've got this term barbarian, which comes to us today.We think of like Conan the barbarian. The visual image of that brings up for us, comes from the Greeks. And they were talking about all of these external peoples were barbarians because that's what the language sounded like to their ears. It just sounded like they were going bar bar bar bar bar. So it was this unintelligible.So it, it makes sense to me to think that the kelp toy may have come out of the language itself. But again, we don't really have much evidence to get that deep into the knowledge, unfortunately. And speaking of the Greeks and the land and the Romans, we get a lot of our information from them. What are, how do we know, what are our sources for, for this people in this group?Yeah. So that's another excellent question. Especially in the earliest times, all of our. [00:06:00] You know, textual evidence is going to come from Greek and Roman sources. It's not until hundreds of years later that we start to really see Celts writing about

Stretching out from the north west of France, Brittany has long been as identifiable with the Atlantic Ocean as with its continental neighbours in Europe. Whilst Sir Barry Cunliffe's research and archaeological interests have taken him far and wide over the last six decades, this close neighbour of Britain continues to fascinate him. In this first of two episodes, Sir Barry takes us through the pre-Roman history of Brittany, stretching from the Mesolithic Period to the Iron Age and connections with Ancient Greece. From standing stones to voyages, bronze and lead axes to beakers, Barry explains how Brittany maintained its own identity, and the importance of its relationship with the ocean.
