Review
"In these pages, anthropologists, artists, archaeologists, historians, literary critics, novelists, and poets will discover a veritable pantheon of hitherto neglected Celtic deities who once enjoyed astonishing artistic representation in Gaul from about 500 BCE to 400 CE. . . . The variety of subjects is awesome, as is sustained iconography of their symbols and emblems. A work of major importance that libraries on many levels should welcome."
