This episode is on the initial settlement of the Celts in Italy as well as the reasons for the migration of the Celts out of the Celtic homeland. As always, I go over what our classical authors have to say about these events. I supplement this with what modern scholars have to say about the subject. This episode begins a series on the migration of the Celtic people and their interactions with the people they encroached upon.
