EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Belgic Briton of the 2nd Century BC with a Cassiterides Statuette" This evocative image captures the enigmatic figure of a Belgic Briton, a member of the ancient Celtic tribes who settled in Britain during the second century BC. The Belgic Britons were an important cultural influence on the emerging British society, bringing with them a rich heritage of art, language, and traditions. The man in this photograph is depicted in traditional attire, with a tunic adorned with intricate geometric patterns and a cloak draped over his shoulders. He carries a spear in his right hand, a symbol of his warrior status and readiness to defend his community. His expression is calm and resolute, reflecting the strength and determination of his people. In his left hand, the Belgic Briton holds a small statuette, believed to represent one of the Cassiterides, or the "Silver Women," the ancient Celtic goddesses of the sea and silver mines. The Cassiterides were revered for their protective powers over the sea and the valuable resources it provided, and their statuettes were often carried by seafarers and miners as talismans. The photograph, dated to the 2nd century BC, offers a rare glimpse into the daily life and beliefs of the ancient Belgic Britons. It invites us to imagine the vibrant world they inhabited, a world of myths, rituals, and close-knit communities that shaped the very fabric of British history. This image is a powerful reminder of the rich cultural heritage that lies beneath the surface of modern Britain, and a testament to the enduring influence of the ancient Celts on the British Isles. It is a must-have for any collection of ancient history, Celtic studies, or British archaeology.
