Description

The goddess Brigantia has been dismissed by some as a creation of Roman propaganda, designed to flatter and control the northern English. This book uses evidence from both Roman and Celtic sources to find the image of a Celtic goddess beneath that overlay. It examines how both sides saw her, and the nature of her role as tribal and protector goddess, as well as healer and mediator.
