Druids were ancient religious leaders active in Britain, Ireland, and Gaul from at least 200 bce to about 400 ce, during the Iron Age in that region. Greek and Roman sources portray them as ritual specialists and community leaders in Celtic-speaking societies. Little is known about the druids with any degree of certainty because they left no surviving written accounts, and Greek and Roman writings are considered unreliable by modern historians.
