We start our new regular issue with the book review of the latest edition of B. Meier's "Die Kelten" (2024). In his review, Holger Wendling specifically addresses the problematic use of "Celts" as an ethnic category, the mixing of language, material culture, genetics, and identity, and the risk of projecting coherence onto something historically fragmented.
