100BC Hill forts and huge linear earthworks were being constructed in Ireland at this time with Feasting Halls / bruidne wood - with Knockaulin in Co. Kildare in Central Southern Leinster being used also for another Royal Assembly.

The Scythian Caledonians during this period had red hair and large physics such as the Germani in the north of Forth and Clyde who chose the best region of Alba later known as the Scottish Highlands and later still Briton / Albion Septs moved from the south of the Cheviot taking what was left.

100 BC - 50 BC the last of the Celts under Roman pressure began arriving into Ireland then known as the Goidels from Gaul who were Gaelic Milesian “Q“ speaking also, who were using some Latin words in their language. The Celtic Gaels had brought to Ireland the Celtic Erse language and were not politically inclined but were Family orientated with no inclination to empire, relying instead on their Tuath / Family region or Family structure and due to this Celtic outlook on life they in turn were able to absorb the remaining Septs who were living in Ireland. The older generations of the Celts were all “Q“ speaking such as the Gaelic Irish while the younger generations were “P“ speaking Celts, such as the Welsh and the Britons. In their usage "pen" prevailed over "cean" for head. The Heremonian Mide / Midland Gaels originally descending from 37.Heremon and later on his descendant, 80.Conn of the Hundred Battles the 110th King of Tara / Ireland in the 2nd Century AD were to eventually take over Mide / Meath in Northern Leinster and Connacht from the Fir Bolg Celts and also submit the Laigin Celts in Southern Leinster but where to find the Ulaid Septs in the east of the Ulster Province a much harder nut to crack. The Ulaid were to be based on the Celtic Scythian Cruithin Picts and the Celtic Fir Bolg Septs who came under the aristocratic Gaelic Milesian Irian rule and it was from them that Ulster was to get its name. It would be much later on before the aristocratic descendants of 80.Conn of the Hundred Battles the Heremonian 110th King of Tara / Ireland known then as the Dal Cuinn "Northern" Ui Niaill Septs would gain full control in Ulster. In the south Munster Province would remain under the control of the aristocratic Milesian Gaelic descendants of 37.Heremon's brother, 37.Heber "Fionn." and the Fir Bolg Septs there also would be absorbed further into the aristocratic Ithian Corco Loidge Septs descended from 35.Ithe and his son 36.Lewy / Lughaidh. There were also Irish settlements in Wales and Alba / Scottish Highlands at this time.

89 BC Finnchad was the 8th King of Emania, who was a son of Baicheda.

75 BC The Belgae / Fir Bolg Septs conquered parts of the south - east of Briton.

61 BC The Belgae Septs had originally come from beyond the Rhine from Germania while the Treveri Sept also had Germanic origins but were not part of the Belgae confederation although they had both come originally from the Rhine or Trans - Rhenine area, while the Belgae confederation in north - eastern Gaul remembered that they alone had driven off the invaders there in Gaul.

56 BC The Celtic Veneti Septs who were the most powerful Septs situated at Morbihan in France took on the Roman ships at sea and were to be defeated by Caesar in Brittany and the Aquitani in south - west Gaul.

55 BC Julius Caesar then invaded Albion / Briton to stop the Celts assisting their kinsmen in Gaul but did not cross over to Ireland who he was to call Hibernia / Scota and the Irish Scottii.

54 BC Julius Caesar invaded Albion / Briton again but still did not go to Ireland, as it seemed that Eire like Scythia was out of bounds to the Romans.

52 BC The Celtic tribes in Gaul / France and part of Spain - revolted under Vercingetorix the Celtic Chief of the Arvernian Averni in Central France and they were finally defeated by Julius Caesar in the War at Alesia and Vercingetorix gave himself up after some of the Septs had let him down and had only turned up when it was too late and he was imprisoned by Caesar for 6 years.

51 BC Gaul was completely conquered by the Romans.

50 BC the last wave of Celts were to arrive into Ireland under the continuing pressure from the Roman challenge to their authority in Gaul and they were known there as the Feni or Goadhail / Gaeil who were all Gaelic speaking Celts.

46 BC Julius Caesar took Vercingetorix back to Rome and eventually had him put to death.
