This episode we begin talking about the Celts proper, or at least the people we call the Celts. First I talk about one theory that posits the beginnings of Celtic History is in the west, on the Atlantic Fringe of Europe. After that I discuss the most commonly accepted start for Celtic History in the Hallstatt culture of Central Europe and their vast contacts with the Mediterranean and beyond. If that interests you then please join me in my discussion of Celtic origins and the Early Hallstatt Culture.
