War was critical for Celtic society, closely linked with the spread of their culture across Europe. From the 5th century BC, when the Celtic cultural culture developed, to the 1st century AD, when they faced the complete subjugation or elimination of most of their communities, their approach to war was a subject of constant evolution, influenced by contact with Mediterranean cultures as well as by the social demands that were constantly changing.
Gioal Canestrelli offers an interdisciplinary approach, combining archaeological and literary sources and analyzing Celtic warfare both from a practical perspective, related to the structure of weapons and battle strategies, and from a social perspective, analyzing the cultural implications of Celtic military development. Additionally, the book analyzes various regions of the Celtic world, from Britain to France, from Spain to the Alpine region, including more than 120 black-and-white illustrations of archaeological findings and a number of original colored artworks of Celtic warriors.
