ABSTRACT
Saint Jerome, who had spent time both in Trèves and Ancyra, says that the Treveri and the Galatians have the same language. He says this in his commentary on St Paul’s Letter to the Galatians (Migne xxvii 382). The history of these Celts who came into Asia Minor to plunder and to settle is turbulent. They seem to have been acted upon by others rather than to have been initiators in the drama of their history. Their effects, however, on the lives of their neighbours were sometimes drastic. They deserve to be considered separately from their kinsmen who invaded Greece. They made a nation. The invaders of Greece made nothing so lasting.
