I would probably want a licencing payment for such usage (if it is a potentially profit-making venture, as it sounds). Note me if you are still interested.

Well it is not a commercial project it is going to be free on Google Play, so we can't afford paying, that's why we are asking here
Lot of thanks for your comprehension.

Cheers.

Camulodunum was the name of Colchester in Roman times, although I gather it was founded by the Trinovantes rather than the Morini (who were in Gaul) or the Brigantes, (who were up North).

Caesar's own commentary "Commentarii de Bello Gallico" and his more popular writings on Britannia place the Morini and their kindred tribe the Menapii in southern Britain also and makes the separation from the traditional Gauls and Germans. He assigns them their own distinct aspects as a culture in-between. And he was the reason these often Roman allies went to Britannia to seek lands, actually having been instigated to invade by, Caesar, himself.

The Trinovantes Celts, and the Brigantes, are "Gaulish" in origin as both are traceable to mainland Europe/France/Frankland and Iberia, and the Belgic's were as I say, Gallo-Germainic not purely Gauls and had better relations with the Germanic tribes if the Commentarii is to be believed. The pure Bythonic Celt's like the Pritenic's or Albions and Hiberni of Greek lore are divergences of the later Pict's culture who had also displaced the native "Beaker People" in the Bronze Age of the isles.

Your not wrong about any of what you said, mind you.

I was pointing out some little known facts about the Pre-Roman isles cultural/and/or anthropological identity.

Your right about the town's modern identity, but the Trinovantes in specific are one of the multifaceted tribes made up of Bythonic, Gaulish, and Germanic bloodlines living as one culture when the Romans incorporated the island into the empire. Camulos/or sometimes Camulus, being incorporated in place names is a carry over from the native Belgae tribal lands who did the same thing and the biggest evidence they were following the deity at the time "Camulo<\i>-dunum" was founded.

But I'm sure some sources would refute just about any facts, especially if you try to say to any Celtic-Origin's fanatics that England had anything but Celtic genes there at the time of the Roman invasion.



Archeology according to Oxford and the historical Roman accounts disagree.

All very interesting. According to something I came across on National Geographic, there was not so much population displacement in Britain, either by Celts or by later invaders. Even the Saxons made a relatively minor genetic impact...

news.nationalgeographic.co.uk/…

I have seen other things that contradict this, and the matter of whether certain Iron Age tribes in Britain were related to similary named ones on the continent is a mysterious area. Also the extent of the maritime connections, going back deep into the past.

In terms of the Pre-Roman invasions, when I said "conquests" I mean small scale local land grabs where they invaders landed, and not subjection of the entire realm.

Yes, the 1970's were the era of rediscovery for the majority of the repudiating results that set English scholarship on its head.

Carthaginian tradesmen spoke of the "Tin Isles" so some say it is proof of a much more connected ancient Europe. And some pseudo-archaeologists  say they Phoenician's were the discoverers of America as well.

But what I told you comes from solid scientific study of the roots of the culture.

And I never said the Celts totally displace the Beaker People, nor were the Celts totally displaced by Gauls.

All I said was the southern tribes were integrated/mixed culturally, but they were all Celtic, if you want to be technical. The Brigantes in the north worshiped the Gaulish Goddess from north easter/ central flanders, and a Belgic God Camulos. As far as genetics goes, I doubt much can be deducted from the genes of Celtic populations from the Carpathian to the Scottish highlands, as Dacians, Gauls, Britain's, and Hibernians were all Celtic hill folk and goatherds who worshiped the high places of the world in ancestry.

Invasion doesn't exactly mean the Bythonic's were ousted/defeated/conquered by the Morini or the Gauls who came there, though doubtless there was a fight initially.

Wise leaders would have tried to claim lands and seek alliances through marriages and trials of heroic resolution. And the native Celt's would have been resistant but respectful of close kin.

The supposition is not that it was broadly based conflict, only a transitional merging of differed beliefs and bloodlines over time.

The Saxons drove the Celt's into isolated pockets of resistance when the "Woaden Born" Saxons invaded but the Christian conversion saw them end a policy of extermination. When the Vikings invaded in the late 700's the whole isle rallied as one people for a time, but by the Norman Conquest, the old divisions were in play again.

Why do you say that? Congratulations on making a comment without reference to GK Chesterton, by the way, moved on to one of his cronies, it seems.
