520    The peoples who inhabited Europe during the two millennia 
       before the Roman conquests had established urban centers, 
       large-scale production of goods such as pottery and iron 
       tools, a money economy, and elaborate rituals and 
       ceremonies. Yet as the author argues here, the visual 
       world of these late prehistoric communities was profoundly
       different from those of ancient Rome's literate 
       civilization and today's industrialized societies. Drawing
       on startling new research in neuroscience and cognitive 
       psychology, this text reconstructs how the peoples of pre-
       Roman Europe saw the world and their place in it.
