When we read Greek and Roman accounts of the Celts, we come away with a caricature of uncouth barbarians who wear trousers and drink undiluted wine, who go naked into battle and who are terrified by an eclipse.
But archaeology reveals a different story and we find out that the Celts loved art and design. Exquisite jewellery symbolised power and horse-riding warriors carried beautifully decorated swords and scabbards.
