450 BCEuropeAt La Tène (in modern Switzerland), Lake Neuchâtel becomes a site for Celtic votive offerings, and the artistic style of the same name also flourishes at this time. It is an art of curved lines and patterns. The votive offerings often include imported objects from classical cultures. These mark definite progress in Celtic art and have given their name to the Iron Age culture of northwestern Europe of this time. The La Tène culture lasts until the time, some three and a half centuries later, of Germanic interference and then Roman conquest.
