Celts and their influence on modern European cultures
Zavřelová, Barbora ; Dvořáková, Markéta (advisor) ; Županič, Jan (referee)
The diploma thesis Celts and their influence on modern European cultures engages in Celtic nations, describes their history and presents remainders of Celtic culture in modern cultures. The thesis is focused on the influence of the Celts on the French region of Brittany and the Czech Republic. It mainly describes the heritage of the Celtic culture in the contemporary society in the form of Druidism, feasts, perception of nature and other traditions. It aims to create a complex image of the Celtic civilization. The second objective of the thesis is to confirm or refute the original connection of the modern Celtic cultural elements on a historical culture of the Celts. It achieves these aims on the basis of analysis, synthesis and subsequent comparison of obtained information about historical and contemporary Celts. The diploma thesis comes to the conclusion that all studied cultural elements have a real historical basis, but most of them, in their modern form, are created artificially. Nevertheless this fact does not detract from the importance of the cultural heritage of the Celts. KEYWORDS Celts, Brittany, the Czech Republic, megaliths, druids, feasts, traditions, cultural heritage of Celts

Coinage of LT C1 - C2 horizon in Moravia and its relations to surrounding areas.
Koldová, Michaela ; Militký, Jiří (advisor) ; Kysela, Jan (referee)
The main subject of this thesis is a detailed analysis of pre-oppid coin types represented in the monitored region and their interpretation. The thesis also includes a chronological concept of the earliest stages of Celtic coinage (3rd-2nd cent. BC.) and its relationship to the archaeological chronology of the middle of La Tene period. In the first part I describe various pre-oppid types known from Moravia. Subsequently, the thesis deals with production-trading centers (Němčice nad Hanou, Roseldorf, Nowa Cerekwia) in the corridor of the Amber Route. However, the most important part is typological - a chronological overview of coins from the production- trading center Němčice nad Hanou, which is mostly based on catalog of coin findings from newly compiled by E. Kolníková. Keywords: Celts - Coinage - Amber Road - pre-oppid coins - LT C1 - C2 - Moravia

Břečková, Jana ; Kloudová, Věra (advisor) ; Drahotová, Markéta (referee)
The topic of this Bachelor Thesis is a translation of a non-fiction text from German and a professional commentary to that translation. The text for the translation was chosen from the internet server www.novaesium.de. It consists of several chapters from the text, the goal of which is to give a brief description of the history of the Germanic peoples. There will be translated all chapters except for chapters II. Die germanischen Stämme, VI. Tracht, Schmuck und Bewaffnung and VIII. Landwirtschaft und Siedlungswesen. The reason for shortening is mainly the extent of the entire text as compared to the extent of the planned Bachelor Thesis. The commentary to the translation is concerned with a translation analysis of the text, that means an analysis of intratextual and extratextual factors according to Ch. Nord, and with a description of the used methods and typologies of translation problems and shifts.

Analysis of Effects of Autonomy an the Isle of Man
Čimera, Jan ; Kokaisl, Petr (advisor) ; Fajfrlíková, Pavla (referee)
The work deals with contemporary issues of the autonomous status of the Isle of Man with the UK and the European Union, furthermore, with the rest of the world. The basis for the work is the historical development of the Island simultaneously with present changes on the Island. Here we can mention the revival of the Manx language, which has its origins in Gaelic and ranks among one of the Celtic languages. The next important point in terms of autonomy is the distribution of tax revenues between Great Britain and the Isle of Man. The Isle of Man has historically been a very active place that has experienced a variety of different rulers and powers. This fact is today commemorated by the ubiquitous Triskelion, the Manx language revival and the collective feeling that the residents do not belong to anyone foreign domination. The aim of the work is to bring the closer look at historical evolution, current political and economic situation and finally a field research among locals and examining their attitudes, opinions and relations with the Island.
