were the Celts, who lived in Europe during the Iron Age, from about 600 BCE into the early centuries CE. They fascinated ancient Classical writers of Greece and Rome, who wrote about them often. They left behind an intriguing record of physical remains that have been recovered by archaeologists, and they have continued to hold our attention as modern populations claim a Celtic identity. Using historical, archaeological, linguistic, and anthropological evidence, Professor Johnston provides an intriguing look at the ancient Celtic peoples of Europe, Britain, and Ireland.

      The icons of the title are the Celts, a disparate collection of peoples who shared some common lingual and cultural traits and who flourished all over Europe during the Iron Age. Professor Johnston extends the period from about 800 BCE to the Roman conquest in some instances, and to Christianization in others. Though we think of Celts as peoples of the British Isles, the classical, especially Roman, sources find them as far south as the Iberian peninsula and as far east as the Germanic lands. The lecturer seems to spend a lot of time telling listeners how unreliable, confusing, and incomplete the historical and archeological records are. This and her limited range of vocal expression render her account less interesting than it should be. Y.R. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
