The diffusion of the Ambicatus legend would help to preserve unity by recalling the mythic greatness of the past. The Boii and Insubri appealed to transalpine Gauls for aid by reminding them of the deeds of their ancestors. 4 Nor would the Druids omit to infuse into their pupils' minds the sentiment of national greatness. For this and for other reasons, the Romans, to whom "the sovereignity of all Gaul " was an obnoxious watchword, endeavoured to suppress them. 5 But the Celts were too widely scattered ever to form a compact empire. 6 The Roman empire extended itself gradually in the consciousness of

its power; the cohesion of the Celts in an empire or under one king was made impossible by their migrations and diffusion. Their unity, such as it was, was broken by the revolt of the Teutonic tribes, and their subjugation was completed by Rome. The dreams of wide empire remained dreams. For the Celts, in spite of their vigour, have been a race of dreamers, their conquests in later times, those of the spirit rather than of the mailed fist. Their superiority has consisted in imparting to others their characteristics; organised unity and a vast empire could never be theirs.

9:4 Broca, Mem. d'Anthrop. i. 370 ff. Hovelacque thinks, with Keane, that the Gauls learned Celtic from the dark round-heads. But Galatian and British Celts, who had never been in contact with the latter, spoke Celtic. See Holmes, Cæsar's Conquest of Gaul, 311-312.

11:3 D'Arbois, PH ii. 374. Welsh Gwydion and Teutonic Wuotan may have the same root, see p. 105. Celtic Taranis has been compared to Donar, but there is no connection, and Taranis was not certainly a thunder-god. Much of the folk-religion was alike, but this applies to folk-religion everywhere.
11:4 D'Arbois, ii. 251.

15:2 Rhŷs, Proc. Phil. Soc. 1891; "Celtæ and Galli," Proc. Brit. Acad. ii. D'Arbois points out that we do not know that these words are Celtic (RC xii. 478).

16:7 In the Isle of Skye, where, looking at names of prominent places alone, Norse derivatives are to Gaelic as 3 to 2, they are as 1 to 5 when names of insignificant places, untouched by Norse influence, are included.

18:1 Isidore, Etymol. ix. 2, 103; Rhŷs, CB 242-243; Cæsar, v. 14; Nicholson, ZCP iii. 332.
18:2 Tacitus, Agric. ii.
18:3 If Celtæ is from qelo, "to raise," it may mean "the lofty," just as many savages call themselves "the men," par excellence. Rhŷs derives it from qel, "to slay," and gives it the sense of "warriors." See Holder, s.v. Stokes, US 83. Galatæ is from gala (Irish gal), "bravery." Hence perhaps warriors."

19:1 'Galli' may be connected with "Galatæ," but D'Arbois denies this. For all these titles see his PH ii. 396 ff.
19:2 Livy, v. 34 f.; D'Arbois, PH ii. 304, 391.
20:1 Strabo, iv. 10, 3; Cæsar, i. 31, vii. 4; Frag. Hist. Graec. i. 437.
