«Галльская империя» от Постума до Тетриков

Whether it is possible to speak about such phenomenon; how «Celtic Renaissance»? The Celtic culture; the Celtic traditions have been put and remained among agricultural population. Destruction of the religious organization of druids meant spiritual destruction of the whole nation; many customs and traditions have been lost and gradually forgotten. Religious searches of the population; especially to Gallia inevitably should lead to return to old gods and old religion. As between continental and island Celts close contacts again have been come into. It occurrence of names of the Celtic gods in inscriptions; renewal of festivals in Postumus board speaks. But thus in Gallia honoring of Roman gods remained. The Roman formation should affect mentality and ideology of the population; widespread in these regions. Thus wIII speak about revival of the Celtic culture in its pure kind extremely incorrectly. Though Postumus images on coins have characteristic Celtic lines; and glorifications of the Celtic gods in the «Gallic Empire» can be found out in inscriptions and on coins of the Gallic emperors; nevertheless it only preservation of disappearing traditions. Influence of the next regions; the German tribes; a Romanization — all these factors together taken; don't let us speak about full the «Celtic renaissance». A number of researchers assert what to speak about the «Celtic renaissance» it is possible only in relation to less Romanized Britain and after its outright release from under the power of the Roman Empire.

In 274 the «Gallic Empire» has finished the existence. Regions; there is no time making it; have been returned under jurisdiction of the Roman emperors.

As effective methods interdictions and a policy of administration and literal deleting of inscriptions with names of the Gallic emperors were used as official historiographers at court of the Roman emperor. MiIIe stones were used for construction and strengthening of defensive strengthening s, or simply thrown out and replaced on similar, but already with names of the Roman masters. Acts of the Gallic emperors registered in merits of the emperors of Rome so already after a while many historians almost had no information on the «Gallic Empire».

The idea the «Gallic Empire» has started up deep roots, but the official policy of the Roman emperors and their administration has been directed on utter annihilation of any certificate of separatism of the middle of III century the population of the western provinces continued struggle against the Roman masters, again proclaiming own emperors, over and over again organizing new mutinies. Lugdunum became the center of following mutiny, pushed Proculus to revolt nobody. It was supported by Spain and Britain; however Proculus has soon been broken. After wreck of the «Gallic Empire» Britain which has put forward the emperor ventures branch from Rome. The separate military divisions which have earlier sworn the Gallic emperors, have come over to the side of other usurpers and especially Carausius who has taken over the control also of fleet «classis Britannica» and, onexample Postumus, has employed barbarians.
