A Classic, For Good Reason

This book represents J. Romilly Allen's attempt to form a theory on the origin of Celtic Christian artwork as well as a general summary of the archaeology of bronze-age and iron-age Celtic cultures. This review was based on the 1993 facsimile rather than the original. Some aspects of this book are somewhat dated which is to be expected after more than a hundred years, but much more of the book is based on evidence which has not yet been discredited or superceded. This book is thus extremely important for the understanding various elements of archaeology relating to Celtic art. The book is characterized by a clear attention to detail and a careful approach. Where the evidence is unclear he says so. It thus remains a useful work over a hundred years after its publication date.

Very impressed
