LOS CELTAS (A Las Puertas de Roma)
The documentary "Los Celtas: A las Puertas de Roma" explores the origins and beliefs of the Celtic people, revealing a highly sophisticated tribal culture that influenced vast areas of the ancient world, including Rome. The documentary consists of three episodes:
1. **A las Puertas de Roma**: The first episode locates the origins of the Celts in the Central European Alps and depicts their first contact with the Romans in a fierce battle just north of Rome, where the Celts emerged victorious, devastating the city.
2. **La Guerra de las Galias**: The second episode delves into the golden age of the Celtic warrior "La Tène" and how their influence extended to central Turkey. However, by the mid-1st century BC, the expanding Roman Empire posed a threat to the Celts, leading to an epic battle between the Gallic warrior Vercingetorix and Julius Caesar that shaped the future of Europe.
3. **El Levantamiento de Boudica**: The third episode shifts the focus to Britain, a land rich in resources, powerful tribes, druids, and advanced military equipment. It narrates the story of the Celts' last stand against the Roman army, led by Queen Boudica.
This documentary provides a comprehensive look at the Celtic culture, their interactions with the Roman Empire, and the significant historical events that shaped the relationship between these two ancient civilizations.
