\"Celtic\" military technology and the Romans

[Dan D'Silva]

The reason I am mentioning this is just as a reminder that the cultural ideas that made up a Legion wasn't taken from the Celts like the technology;

I doubt anyone would argue that it was. I do, however, think there are certain parallels between the Greek citizen-soldier and the tribal or early feudal military aristocracy; that is, they are both drawn from the wealthier classes who have a modicum or more of political power.
