Stephen Allen graduated in 1975 with a degree in French and Spanish from the University of Coventry, and since 1979 has lived in Brussels where he works for an international organisation. With a great passion for history and archaeology, and a particular interest in the European Iron Age, he is a keen amateur archaeologist, regularly taking part in the excavation of Romano-British sites in the south of England. His fascination for the Celts led to the publication of his first book, The Celtic Warrior (Osprey, 2001). Stephen is married and has two children. The author lives in Brussels, Belgium.
"The Celtic warrior of the late iron Age was the archtypal
barbarian: savage, undisciplined and bloodthirsty beyond belief. In
a clash of cultures that lasted almost 500 years, the vibrant
society in which he lived, fought and did was virtually destroyed,
becoming a myth and legend... This amazing book invites readers to
the wonderful journey in the Ancient World." --Neoproprealism (May
2008)"Thanks to a desire by the 'winning' side to erase all
memories and artifacts of the Celts, recent research has turned up
a considerable amount of information on these peoples and in
particular how they fought. Stephen Allen has put all this into one
lavishly illustrated volume... Osprey hardcover books are an
outstanding value for the money and you can buy these with
confidence that you are getting the best." --Scott Van Aken,
