The Celts: Blood, Iron and Sacrifice with Alice Roberts and Neil Oliver

Season 1

Hosted by anthropologist and professor Alice Roberts, and archaeologist Neil Oliver, this three-part documentary discovers the origins and beliefs of the Celts in artifacts and human remains across Europe. What emerges is not a portrait of wild people on the western fringes of Europe, but a highly sophisticated tribal culture that influenced vast areas of the ancient world - and even Rome.
