Ancient Druidic Rite
A druidic priest raises a dagger to sacrifice a female victim to their pagan gods at a stone circle in a clearing in the woods as a patrol of Roman soldiers appears to stumble upon the scene, First Millenium AD. While it is likely druids practised human sacrifice their popular association with neolithic megaliths is utterly groundless. (Photo by Kean Collection/Getty Images)
