The Celts: Search for a Civilization

'I'm going to explore a world where battles were fought with the mighty empires, where warriors were worshipped as gods, and where royalty were buried with treasure. I'm going in search of the Celts.'

In 390 BC, Celtic warriors defeated a Roman army and sacked Rome. It was the bold act of a people who had dominated central Europe for 300 years and whose influence may have stretched from Britain to Turkey, from Poland to Portugal.

Alice Roberts takes us on a journey across Europe, revealing a remarkable new story of the Celts: their origins, their treasures and their enduring legacy.

This is a story of a multicultural civilization, linked by a common language. It's the story of how ideas travelled in prehistory: how technology and art spread across the continent. The Mediterranean civilizations may have achieved greater fame, but it is from the shores of prehistoric Eurpoe that a truly epic story unfolds.

This is a story of discovery that Alice Roberts brings to life with passion and knowledge.

This is the story of a culture that changed Europe forever.
