Yet this fascinating country, which bridges Europe and Asia, was home to various Celtic tribes thousands of years that came to occupy a highland region of Anatolia known as Galatia. Settled in the 3rd century BC, Galatia was comprised of three main Celtic tribes that had travelled all the way from Gaul in western Europe. These tribes were the Trocmii, the Tolistobogii, and the Tectosages, with the Tectosages originally coming from a region in southeast France around Toulose. The Galatians spoke a now extinct Celtic language that was closely related to Gaulish, known simply as the Galatian. The main cities of Galatia included Gordion and Ancyra, which is modern-day Ankara. Known as Gallia of the east, Galatia was named after the Gauls of Thrace, with Thrace being an area in the ancient world that included parts of eastern Greece, western Turkey, and southern Bulgaria. Yet how did Celts from Gaul, who occupied a region in western Europe around modern-day France, end up settling an area in modern Turkey? The short answer is through a combination of invasion and invitation. Throughout the 4th century BC and the 3rd century BC, the Celts swept across Europe. They invaded Italy and southeast Europe, with a key action during this period being the Celtic invasion of the Balkans in 279 BC. Sometimes the Celts were sent east by other leaders who employed their services. In the 4th century BC for instance, many accounts suggest that the Dionysius I of Syracuse, the ruler of the Italian city of Syracuse in Sicily, sent Celts to fight alongside the Macedonians against the Thebans. In the 3rd century BC, important Celtic leaders emerged who spearheaded the Celtic expanse across Europe. In 279 BC, Brennus, a Gallic leader, unified many Celtic factions and pushed southwards from Bulgaria into ancient Greece and associated Greek territories. Famously, Brennus went on to attack Delphi in Greece, although this proved unsuccessful. Around this point however, a section of the Celts split from the main army and headed for Anatolia. This detachment was led by two Celtic leaders, Leonnorius and Lutarius. They were initially invited to participate in the Bithynian civil war in 278 BC, after a power struggle had broken out in the Kingdom of Bithynia in northern Anatolia. Nikomedes I of Bithynia employed 20,000 Celts as mercenaries to help defeat his brother Zipoetes. The Celts duly obliged, no doubt seeing it as a way to explore new lands.
