476 c.E.? Or 476 BC. There is no specific date a to when the Romans conquered the Celts. "Celts" was a blanket name for many different tribes belonging to the same ethnic group. There were Celtic peoples living in Italy at the time that Rome was beginning its expansion, such as the Boii, the Insubres, and the Senones.

First off all the tribes from around northern Spain, all of France and all of the British Isles (Great Britain and Ireland) were Celts essentially so in that sense no they didn't invade everywhere, it was too cold and rainy in Scotland and the Romans couldn't be bothered going there because few at the time knew Ireland was inhabited. Technically the Welsh were considered the actual Celtic people, the English were collectively called Britons, the French tribes were called Guals, the Spanish were called the Hispanic and the Scottish were called Picts, so in that sense yes the Celtic were invaded and conquered.
