Warlike, flamboyant, courageous--the ancient Celts had a fearsome reputation. But Celtic culture survived and achieved a glorious flowering in the post-Roman, early Christian era. For five hundred years they dominated the lands north of the Alps, before being largely absorbed into the Roman Empire.
He covers the neglected subject of Celtic life under Roman rule, particularly in Gaul and Britain, and the continuing traditions in Ireland after AD 400, when a Celtic renaissance gave birth to heroic tales, masterpieces of enameled metalwork, and renowned Today Celtic influence can be found in arts and crafts, in legends, in place names, and even in languages.In this generously illustrated introduction to the world of the Celts, Simon James charts their way of life from farming to feasting, their wars, their gods, and their superb craftsmanship in metal, wood, and stone.
