Were the Celts any less savage than African savages or was Rome more willing to eventually accept a civilized blonde, blue-eyed Celt as a Roman citizen on equal footing with a brown-eyed, black haired Latin while the European colonists in Africa never dreamed of considering an African as a legal equal.

You've said more than a mouthful, my friend.

As you can see from Post #127, I come from a long line of "savages" myself who were not "civilized" until 19 B.C.

A century later, the Legionnaires of the Roman Legion, Legio IX Hispana, stationed in Galicia, moved on to Britannia to conquer the "savages" there.

In the broad scope of History, we were all "savages" not too very long ago. Some us just got conquered and "civilized" sooner than others. Sort of like a Freeper "Member since" date. ;-)
