CELTS: A HISTORY OF AN ANCIENT PEOPLE (HB)

The Celts originated in Central Europe and settled as far afield as present day Turkey, Poland and Italy. From their emergence as an Iron Age people around 800 BC to the early centuries AD, this book reveals the truth behind stories of naked warriors, ritual beheadings, druids, magic and accusations of human sacrifice. It examines the different tribes, the Hallstatt and La Tene periods, as well as Celtic survival in western Europe, the Gallic Wars, military life, spiritual life, slavery, sexuality and art.
