Impossible: there were no Galatians in 480BCE. This was the late Halstatt era and no Celts had ventured East of Austria in significant numbers.Didn't want to close in? After seeing the proud sons of Italia massacred by the...gaesatae, I don't wonder why. 3:1, historical composition of the romani for camillan era, and 4 gaesatae. As for Thermopylae, the Achmeniad (sp?) persians used them in 480, Herodotus says that some of the persians were naked, and while Proffessor Tom Holland calls that a metaphor for their light armour I believe that the force included Galatian gaesatae, and they, when called in, won the battle.
