Hello,
For some time now I have been slowly putting together a kit for my Belgae celtic impression.
Specific objects are proving hard to find information on, the period being the Gallic Wars.
If anybody has any info or pics on fibula and swords specific to this culture and period I would be most appreciative.
Thanks in advance

Hi Andy.
Belgae interests me very much tribe. That why? Vallus dared because of that my surname Treveri my ancestors received it in a Celtic tribe BC 70 - ben*. Treveri is Belgae member presumably though. The best fighters were the Belgian ones. Treveri got the Gaulish ones' best cavalry, and they were the best breeders. Alesiai before a battle Treveriek they withdrew from the Roman army and they switched to Vercingetorix side. The price of the betrayal was big.

I see it in that manner many people did not speak to the topic. I would carry on with it then well. Belgae Celtic tribes belonging to a group kept it the longest their Celtic identity. They resided in little villages in wooded swampy valleys which can be roamed difficultly, was only an exit. They first ones used the wagon encampment for protection between in a semicircle.
