Show Notes
This episode I discuss the Celts and their involvement as mercenaries in the wars of the Mediterranean. I go over how the Celts fought with the Ptolemaic Pharaohs of Egypt and their eventual rebellion and suicide in the Nile. Celtic Mercenaries were also involved with the fighting between the Romans and Carthaginians in the First Punic War. I detail the rise of Carthage as well as their war with the Romans. One Celtic man named Autaritas, a mercenary under the employ of Carthage, rebelled along with other mercenaries because of a lack of pay. Join me in this episode to hear more about this
