The Celts are one of the world's most mysterious ancient people. In this
compelling account, Alice Roberts takes us on a journey across Europe,
uncovering the truth about this engimatic tribe: their origins, their
treasure and their enduring legacy today. What emerges is not a wild
people, but a highly sophisticated tribal culture that influenced the
ancient world - and even Rome.
It is the story of a multicultural civilization, linked by a common
language.
It is the story of how ideas travelled in prehistory, how technology and
art spread across the continent.
It is the story of a five-hundred year fight between two civilizations
that came to define the world we live in today.
It is the story of a culture that changed Europe forever.
