About this audiobook
The term “Celts” comes from the Greek “Keltoi”, which means “barbarian”, but listen to the Introduction to the Celts audiobook and you’ll embark on an exploration of the Celts that shows them as artisans of more than warfare. You’ll discover their tribal way of life, the different cultures that represent who they were as a people, and what it meant to be a Celt. You’ll take a tour through their home lives, spirituality, sexuality, and examine their lives as warriors and the wars that resulted in their eventual decline - the Gallic Wars and the Roman invasion of Britain.
