Poland in Antiquity

By Jesse Russell

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Peoples belonging to numerous archeological cultures identified with Celtic, Germanic and Baltic tribes, lived and migrated through various parts the territory that now constitutes Poland in Antiquity, an era that dates from about 400 BC to 450-500 AD. Other groups, difficult to identify, were most likely also present, as ethnic composition of archeological cultures is often poorly recognized. Short of using a written language to any appreciable degree, many of them developed relatively advanced material culture and social organization, as evidenced by the archeological record, for example judged by the presence of richly furnished, dynastic "princely" graves. Characteristic of the period was high geographical migration rate of large groups of people, even equivalents of today's nations. This article covers the continuation of the Iron Age (see Bronze and Iron Age Poland), the La T ne and Roman influence and Migration periods. La T ne period is subdivided into La T ne A, 450 to 400 BC; La T ne B, 400 to 250 BC; La T ne C, 250 to 150 BC; La T ne D, 150 to 0 BC. 200 to 0 BC is also considered the younger pre-Roman period (A). It was followed by the period of Roman influence, of which the early stage had lasted from 0 to 150 AD (0-80 B1, 80-150 B2), and the late stage from 150 to 375 AD (150-250 C1, 250-300 C2, 300-375 C3). 375 to 500 AD constituted the (pre-Slavic) Migration Period (D and E).
