This episode details the arrival of the Celts into Asia Minor and their transformation into the Galatians of biblical fame. While we are centuries away from Paul’s epistle to the Galatians it is important I outline how the Celtic people of central Anatolia made it there. I also outline the Gauls' initial movement into Galatia and eventual involvement with the Hellenistic Kings of Asia Minor.
