About this audiobook
were the Celts, who lived in Europe during the Iron Age, from about 600 BCE into the early centuries CE. They fascinated ancient Classical writers of Greece and Rome, who wrote about them often. They left behind an intriguing record of physical remains that have been recovered by archaeologists, and they have continued to hold our attention as modern populations claim a Celtic identity.
Using historical, archaeological, linguistic, and anthropological evidence, Professor Johnston provides an intriguing look at the ancient Celtic peoples of Europe, Britain, and Ireland.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The biggest thing I learned from listening to Icons of the Iron Age: the Celts in History and Archaeology was that pretty much everything I thought I knew about the Celts was wrong. Professor Johnston tells us where the term 'Celts' comes from, what ancient sources have to say on the subject, and why we should be taking the information in those ancient sources with more than just a grain of salt.We also learn what's available in the archeological evidence and the probable reasons that the Romans were able to conquer the Celts.The course guide includes some nice photos. If you're at all interested in the Iron Age and/or the Celts, I recommend these lectures.
