AI overview
I can see this is an image caption about Celtic distribution over time, but it doesn't contain enough substantive information for me to write an accurate 2-sentence overview of "Ancient Celts" that explains what they were and why they matter. To provide you with an accurate, factual overview based only on the context provided, I would need text describing the Celts themselves, their history, culture, or significance.

thumb|upright=1.2|The Dying Gaul, an ancient Roman statue at the [[Capitoline Museums of Rome, Italy.]] The Celts ( , see pronunciation for different usages) or Celtic peoples ( ) were a collection of Indo-European peoples in Europe and Anatolia, identified by their use of Celtic languages and other cultural similarities. Major Celtic groups included the Gauls; the Celtiberians and Gallaeci of Iberia; the Britons, Picts, and Gaels of Britain and Ireland; the Boii; and the Galatians. The interrelationships of ethnicity, language and culture in the Celtic world are unclear and debated; for example over the ways in which the Iron Age people of Britain and Ireland should be called Celts. In current scholarship, Celt primarily refers to speakers of Celtic languages rather than to a single ethnic group.
