It combines thousands of Celtic place- and group names, as well as Celtic inscriptions and other mappable linguistic evidence. Moving away from a narrative story of the Celts, the aim of this ground-breaking publication is to empower the reader with a wide range of evidence, lucidly presented, to show the geographic relationship of Celtic-language and non-linguistic cultural evidence, allowing individual interpretation. The Atlas has 64 large format pages of colour maps alongside pages of explanatory text, theoretical discussion, map details, bibliography, and index. This will be an essential work for anyone studying the Celts.

    Book One of the Eboracum series pits Celts against Romans in A.D. 41. Travel back in time to what is now York, U.K. but was once known as Eboracum, the village, as two opposing families fight for land, justice and love. Cethen Lamh-fada and his sharp-witted wife Elena are the defenders taking on the Roman War Machine. They’re up against Gaius Sabinius, a Roman engineer, who arrives in the village with orders that ultimately drives Cethen from the life he knows.The Village is a riveting tale laced with the dark humour, hard romance and the bittersweet reality of life. It’s about everyday people with familiar problems that echo down through the centuries to today’s reader.

    Bidwell describes the development of the forts from the invasion until the end of Roman rule in the early 5th century AD and uses archaeological evidence to examine the everyday lives of those serving in the army, from commanders to ordinary soldiers.
