Galatia

"Galacia es una antigua región del Asia Menor (actualmente Turquía) donde se asentaron algunas tribus migratorias de galos procedentes de las tierras germanas a principios del siglo III a. C. La región tomó su nombre de estos galos y sus habitantes se llamaron gálatas."

"Ancient Galatia (/le/; Greek: , Turkish: Galatlar) was an area in the highlands of central Anatolia (Ankara, Çorum, Yozgat Province) in modern Turkey. Galatia was named for the immigrant Gauls from Thrace (cf. Tylis), who settled here and became its ruling caste in the 3rd century BC, following the Gallic invasion of the Balkans in 279 BC. It has been called the "Gallia" of the East, Roman writers calling its inhabitants Galli (Gauls or Celts)."
