| 520 | |a "Ancient chroniclers, including Julius Caesar himself, made the Druids and their sacred rituals infamous throughout the Western world. But in fact, as Miranda Aldhouse-Green shows in this book, the Druids' day-to-day lives were far less lurid and much more significant." "While not avoiding the controversial issues of human sacrifice and ritual cannibalism, Caesar's Druids explores the various roles that Druids played in British and Gallic society during the first centuries BC and AD. They were not just priests but judges, healers, scientists and power brokers -- a highly complex, intellectual and sophisticated group whose influence transcended religion and reached into the realms of secular power and politics." "Recreating the remote world of an ancient priesthood, Caesar's Druids engages with issues that are relevant today: clashing ideologies, propaganda, theocracy, resistance and colonialism. This original work is the definitive history of Europe's ancient Druids."--Jacket. | ||
