   The area of southeastern Poland and western Ukraine was called Galicia. If we   
   talk about the time of 2nd century AD (Roman map of Ptolemy) Surely there were   
   celtic tribes in the Slovak republic - in area along the middle age area   
   called Galicia. If You    
   are thinking about landscape than there is allways the atractive fertile land   
   as Hungary for example and not atractive - not so fertile land as Slovak   
   mountains. It is something like island or mountain "escape land". That is as   
   well the area of northern    
   Slovak republic and the middle age name Galicia. The newest attitude towards   
   sources (Ptolemy map, local names, archeology) is again thinking of Celts   
   mixing with Slavs in this Gallicia in the early middle age. When thinking of   
   local celtic names look    
   for the rivers ending with "AVA". But this can take You probably to the time   
   of Great Celtic Expansion of 400 BC... and things changed later...
