The Celts: Blood, Iron and Sacrifice with Alice Roberts and Neil Oliver

The Celts' tribal homelands once ranged from Spain, England and France to Slovenia and Anatolia. Today, new archaeological findings sketch a much more precise portrait of the Celts. For almost a thousand years they broadly determined the history of Europe and kept Rome ever watchful. In the 1st century B.C., Europe was firmly in the hands of the Celts as Caesar marched into Gaul to subjugate all the Celtic tribes. However, the Celt Vercingetorix united the Celts against the Romans in a conflict that lasted seven years. This, and other retaliations – such as that led by Queen Boudica - shows the legacy of the struggle between the Celts and the Romans that still defines our world today and reveals one of Europe's most enigmatic ancient people.
