How do you say farm in Celtic?

Who is king of the Celtic tribe?
The title of king in Celtic tribes varied by region and time period, as the Celts were not a unified group but a collection of tribes with their own leaders. Prominent figures include Vercingetorix, the chieftain of the Arverni tribe, who famously resisted Roman conquest, and other leaders like Boudica, who led the Iceni against Roman rule. Each tribe often had its own king or chieftain, reflecting local customs and governance. Thus, there isn't a single "king of the Celtic tribe," but rather many leaders across different tribes.

What was the class system the Celts lived by?
There were four classes in Celtic society, each contributing something to the others in return for a service from that class. The classes were as follows; Chiefs, Nobles, Druids and Bards (considered one class), and the peasants. The Chief gave land to the peasants, money to the nobles, and rights of their position to theLearned(Druids,Bards). The Nobles gave protection to the peasants and Learned, and military service to the Chief. The Learned gave religious rites to all, and the bards sang praises to the Chief and Nobles, and gave knowledge,(limited, of course, this was the source of their power in the society) to all. The peasants merely worked the land, providing labor and food to the society. Women could become any of these.

Why did the Celts invade Rome?
The year was 390 BC. Gauls (the Celts of modern France), who had recently settled in Northern Italy, began to look for more land because of a population influx. Thus, the Gauls began expanding south, into Etruria. The Etruscans, overwhelmed by the massive numbers and sheer strength of the Gauls, turned to the Romans for help. The Romans sent envoys to a prominent Gallic chief to try and negotiate peace. Fighting broke out, and one of the Roman senators killed the Chief. The Gallic King, a man known only as Brennus, was infuriated, and demanded the life of the senator and all of his family members. The Romans refused, because several of the senator's family were senators or government officials themselves. Thus, the Gauls marched on Rome, entered the city, sacked it, controlled the city for seven months, and dominated it for forty years.
