The Boii, an ancient Celtic tribe, held a prominent role within the larger Iron Age La Tène culture. Their influence stretched across diverse territories, including modern-day Bohemia (a name derived from the tribe itself), western Slovakia, and various parts of Northern Italy. Historical records from ancient Rome speak of the Boii in detail, due to their frequent interaction and conflict, particularly during the Roman Republican period. Known for their warrior culture, the Boii frequently clashed with neighboring tribes and the burgeoning power of Rome. Their eventual decline was a result of these continuous wars and the growing hegemony of Rome.
