There has been trade route established between the Gaulish and what became the British island, and with the old germanic people. It's a relatively recent discovery, that it was more established and common than thought off, so it's possible that Gaullish people were both the more common foreigner trading and, since the relation existed, raiders/pirates.

^not sure what's "recent discovery" about it when for example the Ancients themselves described the export of Cornish tin as far afield as the Levant. (Sitting astride the land routes between two seas was a major factor in making the Gaulish princes filthy rich.) It's no news that Europe's "Atlantic facade" has been the scene of bustling shipping routes for a very long time.

Long-distance trade mostly worked by relays of middlemen though - you sold to your neighbour who sold to his neighbour and so on and so on, and then a Nepalese brass statue of Buddha ends up in a Viking grave in central Sweden or something. That the generic term is derived from a more distant connection rather than the Gaels' immediate neighbours (ie. primary trading and brawling partners) around the Irish Sea would imply they were particularly memorable and impactful for one reason or another - compare how derivations of "Frank" became the umbrella term for Western Europeans in the Islamic world, and by extension and osmosis over large stretches of Asia.

...Jean and Lisa have some of the least complicated and outlandish outfits in the roster tho. Assorted minor details aside (like the amount of skin shown) they're not far removed from some real-history garments and those strapless corset-like tops should be rather easy to get off. If anything they ought to be rather more difficult to put on - at least without assistance - given they're laced at the back...

^ God, way to make me wanna re-watch so many of HistoryTime's documentaries.

That being said I'd like to add to this bit:

for example the Ancients themselves described the export of Cornish tin as far afield as the Levant

yep. the term Britain originates from the Phoenician "baratenak" (or something like that) meaning "the land of tin" or "the tin isles". IIRC, there is archeological evidence of Phoenician traders arriving to modern-day Cornwall to buy tin and sell Mediterranean goods.

going even further back with the tin example, the main sources of tin in the Bronze Age were Britain and Afghanistan. The trade probably went through multiple intermediaries before coming to the complex core system in the Middle East and Eastern Mediterranean, but it still shows how extensive the trade networks even over 3000 years ago were.

^goes well further back; all the way in the Neolithic megalithic architectural practices primarily originating in Brittany - the headland dominating the crossroads of the Atlantic seaways - spread across the entire "Atlantic Europe" down to Portugal in south, Scandinavia in north and Ireland in the northwest for ex. Later "cultural complexes" of the region display similar patterns ergo connections.

And long-distance trade in desirable goods is a very ancient thing indeed - stone particularly well suited for particular tools was traded from the Urals to Finland for ex, and lapis lazuli from the primary Eurasian source in what is now NE Afghanistan has been exported over continental distances since the mid 7000s BCE.

^^ one could arguably stretch cultural influences from one region into another even into the mesolithic. Like, I forgot the name, but since you mentioned Brittany, there was this large collection of stones in rural Brittany which, despite earlier expectations of neolithic construction, seems to have originated as a shrine of mesolithic hunter-gatherers, possibly a transitional society between the two worlds/periods. and some of the western hunter-gatherers here must've had contact with their cousins in a the nearby collection of islands.

^ because history slaps, next question.

The anime doesn't do justice for this ship, unlike SIFAS ver. I'm verry disappointed, although i love QU4RTZ episode.

^^random historical reference + nerds in attendance = you gonna get lectured :v

^not sure if it's the example you're thinking of but the long barrow style of monument-building was making the rounds around the Meso/Neolithic transition ("Early Neolithic"). That distribution map also nicely underlines how the southern Baltic region was linked to the Atlantic exchange networks by way of the North Sea.

This is just great- the overall style, the details in their faces, the realistic bodies, the way Kobayashi is "unflashy" but still feminine and pretty. Man, this just chef'skiss perfect!
