It may interest you to know that my published historical novel - The Beltane Choice - is written from the Celtic perspective! (I wanted to include more Roman aspects in its sequel) Although a romance I've included as many 'facts' on the Celts of Britannia where I could in that first novel.

The Celts had superior knowledge when it came to metal melding technology -and those legends about swords like Excaliber were not pure fabrication. It is believed today that when a meteor crashed into an area near Austria, the Celts living there - a clan the Romans called the Norii, used bits of this meteor ore to harden their steel, making the hardest swords in the world. Since then scientists have found bits of their meteor, and smelted them with steel, making a metal that has harder qualities than any other modern metal we know. Yeah, Celts - the smarter barbarians. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noricum Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03202932637700676213noreply@blogger.com
