Quote:This idea of unification through religion is a good theory. When Celtic tribes did unify in war it was the druids that selected the leader of the war-party.

Do we have any sources for this assumption? Afaik, caratacus and Boudicca were respected on their own behalf and were neither 'seleted' by druids. Besides, was there even any mention of 'unified' druids? Was there in your opinion a 'druidic synod' which selected such leaders? I think that much of this goes back either to Julius Caesar's political/mistaken opinions, or 19th century fiction.
