I always find it funny when reconstructionist groups refuse to believe in slavery amongst the celts, or indeed, sacrifice. They will repeat the pleasant fiction that honour prices and other such things were measured in numbers of cows. Yeah - one slave = three cows = however many sheep etc... The coinage, the cumhal, is the same word for as the word for a slave. Modern writers just prefer to translate it in numbers of cows.
