During the first half millennium B.C. the Romans and German tribes defeated them and forced to<br />

move to west, where they survived in Gallia and in Britain. Till today the name of several European<br />

countries goes back to the Celtic ages: Helvetia, Belgium, Wales. In England some geological period has<br />

Celtic-related name: Ordovicium, Szilur.<br />

Lough Crew, Meath (Ireland), and Litér (Hungary).<br />

Today in Europe Ireland preserves the most Celtic heritage. The Celtic tribes in Ireland were formed<br />

by various Viking and Anglo-Saxon pressures. Most ancient links to the ancient Celtic art can be found<br />
