    Here are two Roman accounts
    "They are very tall in stature, with rippling muscles under clear white skin. Their hair is blond, but not naturally so: they bleach it, to this day, artificially, washing it in lime and combing it back from their foreheads. They look like wood-demons, their hair thick and shaggy like a horse's mane. Some of them are clean-shaven, but others - especially those of high rank - shave their cheeks but leave a moustache that covers the whole mouth"
    Diodorus Siculus (A Roman historian)


    All the Britons indeed, dye themselves with woad, which occasions a bluish colour, and thereby have a more terrible appearance in fight. They wear their hair long, and have every part of their body shaved except their head and upper lip. "
    Julius Caesar (A Roman Emperor)


    I attached a plate of a Briton from a book on celts, also two photos of Irish and Welsh rugby players, who imo closely resemble what most Britons would have looked like.
    By the sounds of it, i'd imagine Lemmy + tattoes and paint (and of course dress of the time and place), at least for the British Isles. At least for the ones without dyed hair.

    I think his ancestry is Welsh and western English, so probably pretty related to them as well.

    Predominantly Nordoid-Atlantonordid, with Dinarid, and Alpinoid influences mostly acquired later on.

    Nevertheless this statue refers to a GALATA, i.e. a member of the Brennus (of Senones tribes) horde that invaded Turkey (between Others)

    Unetice population from Tomice (Central Poland) by Miszkiewicz:
    Mediterranoid: 50-55%
    Cromagnoid: 25-30%
    Taurid: 10-20%

    Gáta-Wieselburg culture from the Upper Danube-valley:
    - 50% Mediterranid (mostly Gracile med)
    - 40% Alpinoid
    - 10% Brachycephal forms

    Tumulus conquerors from Danube-Tisza interfluvial (Central Danube-valley):
    - 68% Gracile Mediterranid
    - 20% Atlanto med/Nordoid intermediate forms
    - 16% various Brachycephals (mostly Alpinoids and Taurids)
    - 5% Cromagnoid A and B

    The cremation is a great problem, the significant scale paleoanthropological sample is rare, but still exists to a revealing picture.
