019: The Celtic Invasion of Greece - Celtic Civilization & History (1300-300 B.C.) - a podcast by The Hellenistic Age Podcast

In the first of a two-part look at the Celtic invasion of Greece, I cover the history and civilization of the ancient Celts. We will look at what it means to be a “Celt”, how the Celts were seen by the Greeks and Romans alike, and delve into topics like human sacrifice, warfare and art.

Thanks to John Kerry, an Edinburgh based composer, trombonist and music archaeologist  professor at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, London who works with Carnyx & Co to recreate the sounds of Iron Age music and instruments. His website is here at www.carnyx.org.uk  so please, check it out if you want to hear more about his work.
