The Romans left monuments to their glories and written histories charting the exploits of their heroes. But there was another ancient people in Europe—feared warriors with chariots, iron swords, exquisite jewellery, swirling tattoos and strange rituals and beliefs. For hundreds of years, Europe was theirs, not Rome's. They were our ancestors, and yet the scale of their achievements has largely been forgotten. They were the Celts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the Romans, they did not write their history, so the stories of many heroic Celtic men and women have been lost. And yet we can discover their deeds... you just have to know where to look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Denmark to Italy; Portugal to Turkey, Alice Roberts takes us on a journey across Europe, revealing the remarkable story of the Celts: their real origins, how they lived and thrived, and their enduring modern legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUsing ground-breaking linguistic research, in addition to the latest archaeology and genetics, Alice Roberts will explore how this remarkable and advanced culture grew from the fringes of the continent and humiliated the might of Rome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Celts\u003c\/em\u003e accompanies a substantial BBC series presented by Alice Roberts and Neil Oliver, and was first shown in October 2015.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45744985571564,"sku":"9781784293352","price":27.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781784293352.jpg?v=1726665508","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/celts-the-search-for-a-civilisation","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
