Two major international conferences were organised in 2002, in Hamburg (Germany) and Sopron (Hungary), which focused on the cultural relations of Late Iron Age Europe, after the Celtic occupation. The volume contains 21 exciting and original articles exploring the various themes of the conferences in detail. As the title suggests (North-South, East-West), the articles take a close look at the diverse and far-reaching relations whose traces are reflected by the spread of individual objects, and which developed along the road system that had already been existent prior to the Roman Age.
