Greetings,
I took the 'Celtic Cross' as meaning the equal armed cross within a circle....which is derived from the ancient Sunwheel symbolism...?
Hot Cross Buns as eaten at Easter, are derived from the bread carved with the Sun Wheel or Solar Cross as Vallus mentions.
I read here this was also used in Mithraism (Persian Mithra, Vedic Mitra)

The Greeks also associated the invention of iron working with the Scythians. This again is a northern Messopotamian and Anatolian invention and being Anatolian in origin the Scythians also had some great iron working tribes like the Kalybs tribe which gave steel its name in many early European languages. In time they became absorbed by the Sarmatians and Yazig. They must have also been remembered by the Yazig cavalry taken by the Romans to early Britain and were the foundation of the King Arthur myths of Ex-Calibur, and the sword myths which are all early Anatolian traditions. These traditions were also found in Hun and Magyar traditions and mentioned by Herodotus amongst the early Scythians.
This may be of interest too....[url:27d4fkd7]http://users.cwnet.com/millenia/scythwrd.html[/url]

The enemy is less likely to get wind of an advance of cavalry, if the orders for march were passed from mouth to mouth rather than announced by voice of herald, or public notice. Xenophon
