with an atrocious rating and supreme, we'll be at war with the Celts soon enough - they're allied with the mongols. and every time we make peace, I believe they get a sneak attack bonus. As for trading, if done properly, there shouldn't be a problem - transport and escort in Cremona wouldn't hurt, otherwise, trading with the Celts would be practical with only a couple cites. Getting Apollo program would greatly assist in knowing which cities are best to trade with.
