Le decor: Suisse, pays des Trois-Lacs, 20 av. J.-C., soit une trentaine d’annees apres la fin de la guerre des Gaules, alors conquises par Cesar. Les protagonistes : Celtia, fille perspicace d’Orgetorix, tristement celebre chef des Helvetes, et Camilos, eminent Celte de la region du Jura qui livra Brutus Decimus, le meurtrier de Cesar, a Marc Antoine. L’intrigue : apres la victoire des Romains sur les Helvetes et une periode de declin, Celtia et Camilos planifient, avec d’autres representants de l’elite celtique, la fondation d’une nouvelle capitale helvete, qui s’appellera Aventicum. L’histoire se prete a une vaste description du monde celtique qui, apres la fin de la guerre des Gaules, se voit directement confrontee a la culture romaine. L’action se deroule sur plusieurs niveaux : durant la journee, les personnages vivent le demenagement et l’arrivee a Aventicum. Voila qui permet d’evoquer le quotidien et ses festivites, la diversite economique et le mode de pensees des Celtes, bouscules par l’influence de la culture romaine. Le soir, on se reunit autour de copieux repas auxquels participent membres de la famille, jeunes, vieux, Celtes, Romains ou Grecs, pour ecouter les recits des differents personnages. Les histoires qu’ils racontent tissent une retrospective permettant d’evoquer la riche culture des Celtes et un destin en perpetuelle mouvance : on comprendra avec quelle energie et quelle sagesse les Celtes sont toujours demeures maitres de leur destin.
