Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
This paper was given as the Europa Lecture for 1997. It re-examines arguments concerning the early development of early Celtic (La Tène A) art and its relations with the Mediterranean world. Taking as a focus the recent spectacular discoveries below the hillfort of the Glauberg north-east of Frankfurt, the Celtic approaches to representations of the human form are analysed and the complex question of meaning and the relationship of early Celtic art to contemporary belief systems discussed. As a brief coda, the striking changes which took place in many parts of the early Celtic world after c. 400 BC are referred to in the context of the major population movements of the time, notably those which brought settlers from north of the Alps to Italy. | ||||||||
