Description:
New book, 224 pages. To the classical civilisations of Greece and Rome, the Celtic Warrior of the late Iron Age was the archetypal barbarian: savage, undisciplined, and bloodthirsty beyond belief. In a clash of cultures that lasted almost five hundred years, the rich and vibrant society in which he lived, fought and died was vitually destroyed, becoming the stuff of myth and legend. Covering the period from the first mention of Celts by ancient Greek writers to the Roman conquest of Britain. Stephen Allen examines the Celtic warrior, his society and his place within it, and the conflicts that would eventually destroy his world. Beautifully illustrated with colour photos of Celtic artefacts and craftsmanship, this book provides a fascinating insight into a culture whose legacy has endured to the present day.
