History of the Celts

Episode 4: Visions of the Celts


Listen Later

In this episode, I discuss the concept of historiography.

One the most important aspects of the study of history is analyzing where those
sources come from and what they say. For the Ancient Celts most of our primary
sources come from the classical authors like Julius Caesar and Posidonius. I
also discuss how more modern scholars from the 1800s viewed the Ancient Celts
and how ironic this view tended to be in comparison to their treatment of
modern Celtic peoples.
