>>10760522I dislike using terms like superior and inferior in places where I seem them unfit. Northern European civilizations like those formed by the Celts or Germanics were not brutal, barbarian places where people lived in their own mud. True however remains that they never attained the grade of civilization which we could see in the mediterranean world. For what particular reasons, I don't know. Celts, Germanics, Slavs etc. since long before the rise of Rome were in contact with mediterranean cultures.
