DEFINITION
“…called the “Gallia” of the East, Roman writers calling its inhabitants Galli. They were of Gauls and Greeks, and hence were called Gallo-Graeci, and the country Gallo-Graecia. The Galatians were in their origin a part of that great Celtic migration which invaded Macedonia about B.C. 280. They were great warriors, and hired themselves out as mercenary soldiers, sometimes simultaneously fighting on both sides of great battles during their time.”
Reclaiming the Blade held the top position in the documentary category on Apple iTunes for several weeks this summer. Lord of the Rings stars Viggo Mortensen, Karl Urban, John Rhys-Davies, John Howe and Richard Taylor join with legendary Hollywood sword master and fight choreographer Bob Anderson to celebrate the history of the sword. Reclaiming the Blade has also made it into the top 100 iTunes films of all time! You can read more about it
