The Celts were the first European people north of the Alps to rise from anonymity. They were never an empire, but they were a civilization. Reviled for their barbarism and admired for their artistic craftsmanship; wild ferocious drunkards, they were also romantics and mystics. Their story is one of survival, defiance and creativity in the face of oppression. This episode focuses on who the Celts were, where they came from and what made their culture so distinctive.
