Best Answer

The Celts were seen by the Romans as barbaric and in battle they didn't follow the Roman rules of battle. The Romans generally were worried about the barbarian tribes crossing into Italy. They had tried fighting them on their own turf and knew that they more more than willing to die rather than be slaves or to pay the Romans for allowing them to live.

How many Romans died fighting the Celts?

It is not known. Your question is extremely broad because there were many Celtic groups and the Celts were originally the biggest ethnic grouping in Western Europe. The Romans fought against many of them. They were attacked many times by the Gauls of northern Italy, who were, Celts and then fought them and conquered them in the 3rd century BC. They fought the Gauls of Gallia, who were also Celts, in the Gallic Wars (59-50 BC) when Julius Caesar conquered Gaul and in subsequent Gallic rebellions. Julius Caesar also carried out two expeditions in the southeast of England, which was inhabited by Celts. The Romans fought against the Celtiberians, the Celts of Spain, in the 2nd century BC. They fought against and conquered Noricum (most of Austria and Slovenia) which was inhabited by Celts, in 16 BC. They conquered southern England in 46 AD, Wales between 48 and 79 AD and northern England in 78 AD, all of which were inhabited by Celts. They pushed into Scotland a number of times, but withdrew and the Picts (Celts) of Scotland raided Roman Britain for centuries. As you can see from the above, it would be very difficult to estimate the number of Romans who died in many centuries of fights against Celtic groups.


Why didn't Celts wear armor?

It was many different reasons, one reason was that they used it to intimidate the romans. Second is because they weren't as rich as the Romans as the romans were richer they could afford armour and better weapons. With this in mind the Celts also owned less land and weren't fighting to take land, but to simply protect it. Futher reasons are that it is more practical without armour because armour weighs quite alot. They mainly lived in Ireland and Scotland.
