Ancient Celtic Placenames in Europe and Asia Minor, Number 39 by Patrick Sims-Williams

An original study revealing the history of place-names from Ireland to Anatolia, from Scotland to the Apennines, and from to Andalusia the Black Seas.
"Taken as a whole, this book is a triumphant vindication of the value of philology applied in a systematic and discerning fashion to a major historical problem" Antiquity
