Anartes: Forgotten Celtic Tribe And The Hercynian Forest With Strange Animals
A. Sutherland - AncientPages.com - The historical narrative of the Celts does not revolve around a singular ethnic group but rather encompasses the collective histories of various tribes that collectively formed a distinct Celtic culture.
It is undeniable that numerous Celtic tribes have been lost to history, while others are known only by name.
Among many tribes of the Celtic peoples, there is a major tribe of Anartes (Anarti, or Anartoi). According to scholarly research, the enigmatic Anartes are believed to have resided in the region of ancient Dacia, which encompasses the present-day territories of Romania, portions of Slovakia, and even certain areas of southeastern Poland.
Gaius Julius Caesar, the renowned Roman military leader and author, situated the territory of the Anartes along the eastern border of the Hercynian Forest. This enigmatic forest was a subject of intrigue, mentioned by notable figures such as Aristotle, Pliny the Elder, and Tacitus. Tacitus, in his seminal works 'Germania' (98 AD) and the 'Annals of Tacitus,' shed light on this mysterious woodland, adding to the historical accounts surrounding this ancient geographical feature.
