History of the Celts

Episode 9: the Celts in Italy


Listen Later

This episode is on the initial settlement of the Celts in

Italy as well as the reasons for the migration of the Celts out of the Celtic homeland. As always, I go over what our classical authors have to say about these events. I supplement this with what modern scholars have to say about the subject. This episode begins a series on the migration of the Celtic people and their interactions with the people they encroached upon.
