The Celtic culture was based around a system of honour, whereby warriors gained honour by valour in battle. Around 43AD the expanding Empire of Rome conquered Celtic Britain, as it had conquered most of Celtic Europe. Ireland and Scotland remained the only non-Rome Celtic areas left. All were ultimately defeated by the Britons, except a colony that survived and formed the kingdom of Scotland. This Celtic boot dagger has a metal engraved handle and sheath with a stainless steel blade. 6 3/4" Overall.
