This historic documentary tells the tale of the rise and the eventual decline of the mighty Celts. While an empire they were not, the Celtic culture did spread from the warmth of the Mediterranean waters to the turbulent North Sea. However, like all progressive tribes, they began to look for a place to expand. This 50-minute tape, distributed by Kultur Video, highlights the timeline after 400 B.C. when the Celts navigated the Alps and attacked Rome and Delphi -- and thus the mighty Roman Empire. The result was a combination of outright destruction and/or absorption into the Roman culture.
