An ingenious and thoroughly gripping historical and archaeological bolt from the blue.'New Statesman, Books of the Year 2013When Graham Robb made plans to cycle the route of the legendary Via Heraklea, he had no idea that his journey would change his understanding of pre-Roman Europe. The ancient path he followed took him deep into the civilization of the Celts, where his discoveries were so extraordinary that he spent years trying to disprove them.Grounded in astronomy, philology, archaeology and history - not to mention 15, 000 miles on a bicycle - this book presents nothing less than a new wonder of the ancient world.'The Romans did a good job of writing their predecessors out of history . . . As Robb makes clear, they told only part of the story.'Observer'The findings of Graham Robb, a biographer and historian, bring into question two millennia of thinking about Iron Age Britain and Europe.'Daily Telegraph'Remarkable . . . an overarching, wondrous reworking of history.'Philip Hoare, Literary Review
