Book excerpt: Showcasing 54 full-colour maps that span the whole of Europe, this superb atlas examines the history of the Celts, from their origins in the Iron Age to their present-day diaspora. This quality volume charts the migration and major conflicts of the Celts, supported by authoritative text and illustrations. Beginning with the origins of the Celts – the major La Tene and Halstatt cultures of the Iron Age – it covers more than 3000 years of history and highlights prominent Celtic leaders like warrior queen Boudicca. The legacy of the Celts is also explored with emphasis on their distinctive designs, jewellery, flags, clothing and traditions.
