Iron Age Britain's connections to the wider world

By examining the bones of the warrior woman buried with the Wetwang chariot archaeologists think she came from Gaul. This has led them to understand that Celtic Britain had connections to mainland Europe during the Iron Age. Archaeologists have found other evidence to support this, such as golden coins that were minted in France and Belgium. Evidence from the east of England shows that a leader called Cunobelin imported luxury goods from the Roman Empire. Cunobelin even minted his own coins in the style of Roman ones, showing that these were familiar to Celtic Britain.
