Great Archaeological Mysteries of Europe and the Mediterranean

Summary

To the Romans, the Druids were exotic priests of a mysterious and barbaric cult. But who were they really? Classical sources and archaeology suggest they dominated Celtic society for centuries. They left no records of their own—only Roman accounts of a threat serious enough to prompt bans on Druidic rites, destruction of sacred groves, and campaigns against their strongholds in Britain and Gaul.
