[color=#000000ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0]The one in the Ukraine is the eastern portion of what was known as Polish Galicia, and is indeed named for the Celts.[/quoteost_uid0]

It's been traded back and forth between three empires and various successor states for a long time. I think the incoming Germans and Slavs pretty much assimilated the Celts long before the Austrian, Prussian and Russian empires arose.

[quoteost_uid0]Also, I believe it was to the folks in Galatea (Asia Minor) that the Apostle Paul's Epistle* was directed.[/quoteost_uid0]

A bunch of Celts swept through after the collapse of Alexander's Empire and settled there. I know nothing of Epistles, though.[/colorost_uid0]
