Terry Jones' Barbarians

Terry Jones' Barbarians offers a fresh look at Roman history, challenging the traditional view of 'barbarians' as uncivilized. This study reveals that many groups, including Celts, Goths, Persians, and Vandals, were organized and intelligent, with significant cultural and technological achievements. Traveling through 700 years of history across three continents, the authors use wit and scholarship to reframe our understanding of the Roman Empire's legacy and the origins of the modern world.
