Description
Book SynopsisThis book draws on the firsthand observations and early accounts of classical writers to piece together a detailed portrait of the ancient Celtic peoples of Europe and the British Isles.
Trade Review"I know of no other work that pulls this sort of material together and groups it by such helpful categories (war, feasting, poetry, religion, women, etc.). I will certainly value it in my library and ... as recommended reading for several of my courses. It will be a nice companion to Freeman's Ireland and the Classical World." Patrick K. Ford, Professor and Chair of Celtic Languages and Literatures, Harvard University
