Introduction to Druids
Source A: Modern historian’s view
'Druids were the religious leaders and teachers in Iron Age Britain. They held important roles in society, often acting as priests, advisors, and judges. Much of what we know about them comes from later sources, which may be biased or incomplete.'
Source B: Ancient Roman account
'The Druids commanded great respect among the Britons. They performed sacred rituals and were believed to possess supernatural powers. The Romans saw them as a threat and sought to suppress their influence.'
Source C: Archaeological evidence
'Archaeological finds suggest that Druids may have conducted ceremonies at sacred sites such as stone circles and groves. No written records from the Druids themselves have survived.'
