The Celtic Empire: The First Millenium of Celtic History c. 1000 b.c.-51 a.d. - ELLIS, PETER BERRESFORD
the first millenium of Celtic history, c. 1000 BC-51 AD
KORTE INHOUD
European recorded history north of the Alps begins with the Celts. At their height, they stretched over the ancient world from Ireland and Britain to Turkey and Czechoslovakia, from Belgium and Gaul to Spain and Italy. They sacked Rome, invaded Greece, and even attempted to take over the Egypt of the Ptolemy pharaohs. Yet theirs was an empire without an emperor, a civilization that encompassed the continent but had no central government. To tell its history, Ellis matches his storytelling talents with the firsthand and classical accounts of the Celtic empire.
