Dying for the Gods : Human Sacrifice in Iron Age & Roman Europe Paperback / softback
by Miranda Green
Paperback / softback
Description
Sacrifice, like death, is one of the great taboo subjects of modern society.
The notion that human sacrifice, murder most horrid and even cannibalism could be considered a most holy act is almost inconceivable.
Yet the evidence for human sacrifice in north-west Europe, deriving from both archaeology and the testimony of Classical writers of the first centuries BC/AD, has to be confronted.
This is the challenge of this original, but often disturbing, book.
Brings together a wealth of archaeological, anthropological and historical evidence that has not been previously available is a valuable asset to scholars.
