Galatia. Ancient district in central Anatolia, between the Halys (now Kizilirmak) and Sangarius (Sakarya), settled by Celtic peoples from the 3rd century BC until they were absorbed into Hellenistic civilization. Culturally much like the Celts of Continental Europe, their name is a variant of
Gaul. The Galatians clung to their language and customs despite being distant from the centres of Celtic civilization. The neighbouring Greeks accommodated them by explaining that they derived from
Heracles and his Gaulish lover
Galata. Their country was the site of one of several shrines known as
Drunemeton. Evangelized by St Paul in the Epistle to the Galatians. As late as the 5th century St Jerome reported that the language of Ancyra (Ankara) was similar to that spoken near Treves (Trier) in the Moselle valley, of what is today Germany and France.
