About this audiobook
This is a book about a people that has often been overlooked. Wallowing in the shadow of the seemingly almighty Romans, and dispersed throughout the ages into other peoples, the Gauls appear as if they had nothing going for them. Quite the opposite is true. The Gauls had a distinct culture, with habits, warfare, and so much more to offer to the intrigued historian and everyday researcher.
Throughout the Iron Age and the Roman period, the Gauls were a collection of Celtic tribes from Continental Europe (circa from the fifth century BC to the fifth century advertisement). Gaul was the name of the area where they used to live. Their Gaulish language is the significant branch of the Celtic languages of the continent.
The Gauls are worth studying. I implore you to do so.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5If I would have to outline it, it would be simply in 1 word: Awesome! There are plenty of aspects I loved about this book, but I can only say so much. I don't always enjoy any audio books, but this stood out. And since it did, I began paying attention to it. It was some of the best time I spent, particularly because I was doing some other things in the meantime.
