Description
Fierce warriors and skilled craftsmen, the Celts were famous throughout the ancient Mediterranean world, the archetypal barbarians from the north, feared by both Greeks and Romans. And though this ancient thousand-year-old civilization was crushed by the military campaigns of Julius Caesar, the Celts remain an object of fascination to this day. Now, in The Ancient Celts, Barry Cunliffe, one of the world's leading authorities on European prehistory,...

Description
100 BC-140 AD. The leaders of the British Celtic tribes are trading with Europe and enjoying the best that civilisation can offer. Then the Romans invade, and everything changes. We witness the fighting for control of Britain, and the Roman obsession with gold, tin and silver. Boudicca and her rebellion fail and the Romans finally draw a line at Hadrian's Wall.

500-100 BC. The Celtic Iron Age begins. The fastgrowing tribes of Britain turn violent. But out of the fighting something remarkable appears - glorious art and design; magnificent swords of a lavish beauty never seen before. The Celts may never have existed as a genetic people, but as a culture they generated extraordinary riches - iron age warriors, druids and the first kings.

We see how the Romans brought modernity in towns and cities, but how iron age Celtic identity persisted. People from Africa appeared in York - and Christianity brought a whole new world of belief, shaping culture in a way that persisted beyond any Empire.

Recent discoveries by archaeologists and historians have, however, radically altered this traditional view of the Dark Ages, and the period is now seen as one of innovation and dynamic social evolution. This book reconsiders a number of traditionally accepted views. It argues, for example, that the debt of...

Description
"The legend of King Arthur has been told and retold for centuries. As the king who united a nation, his is the story of England itself. But what if Arthur wasn't English at all? As writer and activist Adam Ardrey discovered, the reason historians have had little success identifying the historical Arthur may be incredibly simple: He wasn't an Englishman at all. He was from Scotland. Finding Arthur chronicles Ardrey's unlikely quest to uncover the secret...
