Which group lived in Central and Western Europe during the Roman Empire?

• A. Barbarians
• B. Celts
• C. Huns
• D. Slavs

Answer: (B)

The Celts were the people who lived across a broad belt of central and western Europe during the Roman Empire. They inhabited areas that are modern-day France (Gaul), parts of present-day Britain, and stretches into central Europe near the Alps and Danube. The Romans encountered Celtic tribes repeatedly in Gaul and Britain, and Celtic culture remained widespread in those western and central regions for centuries. This makes Celts the best fit for a group living in central and western Europe during Roman times. Barbarians is a broad term for various groups Rome fought on its frontiers, but it doesn’t specify the central and western European heartland. Huns came from the Eurasian steppe and mostly affected eastern and central Europe later in the empire, not as a settled, long-standing population in central/western Europe. Slavs were primarily in eastern Europe and the Balkans, with later migrations, rather than the core western and central European areas during the Roman era.
