Iron Age Britain
from The Ancients
What if Iron Age Britain was never a land of barbarians at all, but a world of skilled farmers, powerful women, trade, ritual, and spectacle? Tristan Hughes is joined by Professor Tom Moore to reveal a far richer pre-Roman Britain, from roundhouses and hillforts to chariots, feasts, and buried offerings. Archaeology uncovers a society shaped by movement, identity, violence, and belief, where the Iron Age still echoes into Roman Britain and beyond.MOREDruidsListen on AppleListen on SpotifyBefore Rome: The Truth About Late Iron Age BritainListen on AppleListen on SpotifyThe Ancients is now on YouTube!
