"Since its first publication, the late Professor Powell's book has been widely acclaimed as a major pioneering study. Using the evidence of history, archaeology and linguistics it portrays the rich variety of Celtic life, art and religion across the whole of barbarian Europe, from the Balkans in the east to France, Spain, Ireland and Great Britain in the west. Professor Stuart Piggott has supervised the preparation of a revised edition of this classic work. Many additional illustrations have been selected, including eight pages of color plates."--Page 4 of cover.
