Am I not allowed? I am a Celticist, but I believe 'barbarian' and 'civilized' does help people with their perception; people think of civilized as, generally, the Greco-Roman world, and barbarian as those outside of it. It does not imply I think Celts, or numerous others are lacking in civilization (quite far from it), but are not generally referred to in the same concept as the amalgam of civilizations of the mediterranean.Originally Posted by jerby
