>Yes a large proportion of academia will tell you that Hadrian was in love with Antinous
He was.
>at an entirely different point in time do not materialize evidence for your claim about celto-germanic society
I never claimed it did. I pointed out that a city which we have documentation from that proves that the majority of men had sex with boys has no strong archeological evidence suggesting that pederasty was highly prevalent, which is an example proving that a culture which practices pederasty doesn't necessarily leave archeological evidence of the practice behind.
>We do know roughly what Gods they worshiped
The archeological record of their gods is fragmentary and minimal, in spite of the fact that this was a highly important aspect of their culture, and they produced votive images of these gods. Many gods which are known by name have no archeological evidence attesting to their existence, and are only known through Roman/Greek writers.

>They were not lacking archaeological* output
I never claimed they did, I claimed they had a limited archeological output, which they do.
>also lack artistic depictions of any sort of sodomy between men
How many Celtic artistic depictions of sex between men and women exist? Can you post a single one?
>it is an evidenced based assumption men and women had sex
This evidence is nowhere near as direct as the archeological evidence you are requesting which would prove the presence of pederasty. There is no archeological evidence of heterosexual sex on par with the type of archeological evidence that you are requesting as evidence of Celtic pederasty. Does that mean we can assume that heterosexual sex did not exist in Celtic society? No, the vast majority of practices of ancient societies do not show up in the archeological record. Your argument is ridiculous.
Tell me, what sort of archeological evidence would exist had the Celts practiced pederasty? A fossilized man and boy engaged in the sexual act?
