These varied groups--Thracians, Scythians, Celts, Germans, Etruscans, and other peoples of Italy, the Alps, and beyond--had contact with one another and with Greek culture during its flowering. Images on the spectacular gold and silver objects buried in royal tombs show how the horse-riding nomads and the barbarian women warriors known in antiquity as Amazons saw themselves. Archaeological discoveries show how they dressed, what they ate and drank, where they lived, and how they honored their dead kings with barbaric splendor and human sacrifices, allowing us to change, correct, or confirm the picture given in Greek and Roman literature" -- Provided by publisher.Bibliography: Bibliogr. en fin de contributions.
