Celtic Religions in the Roman Period: Personal, Local, and Global

Celtic religion in the Roman provinces is illuminated through cross-disciplinary, international scholarship.

This multi-authored book brings together new work, from a wide range of disciplinary vantages, on pre-Christian religion in the Celtic-speaking provinces of the Roman Empire. The chapters are the work of international experts in the fields of classics, ancient history, archaeology, and Celtic studies. It is fully illustrated with b&w and colour maps, site plans, photographs and drawings of ancient inscriptions and images of Romano-Celtic gods. The collection is based on the thirteenth workshop of the F.E.R.C.AN. project (fontes epigraphici religionum Celticarum antiquarum), which was held in 2014 in Lampeter, Wales.

Dr Ralph Haussler is Associate Professor for Roman history and archaeology at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David in Lampeter. His main research interests include indigenous religions in Rome’s western provinces and socio-cultural transformation processes between the Iron Age and the Roman period.
