Die Kelten und die Köpfe ihrer Feinde (404 Aufrufe)

Strabon, Geographika IV 4, 5 (Poseidonios F55 Jac.):
In addition to their silliness, the Celts have another barbaric outlandish custom, inseparably connected with the northern tribes mostly, of returning from battle with the heads of their enemies hanging from their horses’ necks, and nailing them to the porches of their houses [τὸ ἀπὸ τῆς μάχης ἀπιόντας τὰς κεφαλὰς τῶν πολεμίων ἐξάπτειν ἐκ τῶν αὐχένων τῶν ἵππων, κομίσαντας δὲ προσπατταλεύειν [τὴν θέαν] τοῖς προπυλαίοις]. At all events, Posidonius says that he saw this sight himself often, and at first was nauseated, but afterwards took it lightly through familiarity. They would embalm with cedar oil the heads of their distinguished enemies and display them to guests, and would not consider ransoming them even for their weight in gold. The Romans put a stop to these customs as well as to those connected with sacrifice and divination contrary to our accepted practice.

(Posidonius. Vol. I: The Fragments/Vol. III: The Translation of the Fragments. Ed. by L. Edelstein & I. G. Kidd. Cambridge 2004, pp. 239/346 sq.)
