CELTS: THE HISTORY AND LEGACY (PB)

Before the Roman Empire, the Celts dominated Europe from Turkey and Poland to Ireland and Spain. From their emergence as an Iron Age people around 800 BC to the early centuries AD, this book reveals the truth behind the stories of naked warriors, ritual beheadings, druids, magic, and accusations of human sacrifice. It examines the different tribes, the Hallstatt and La Tene periods, the Gallic Wars, military life, spiritual life, slavery, sexuality, and Celtic art, as well as the Celts’ legacy and survival in western Europe.
