Those the Romans regarded as barbarians left few records of their own, but they had a tremendous impact on the Roman imagination. Resisting from outside Rome's borders or rebelling from within, they emerge vividly in Rome's historical tradition, and left a significant footprint in archaeology. Kershaw builds a narrative around the lives, personalities, successes, and failures both of the key opponents of Rome's rise and dominance, and of those who ultimately brought the empire down. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRome's history follows a remarkable trajectory from its origins as a tiny village of refugees from a conflict zone to a dominant superpower. But throughout this history, Rome faced significant resistance and rebellion from peoples whom it regarded as barbarians: Ostrogoths, Visigoths, Goths, Vandals, Huns, Picts and Scots. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased both on ancient historical writings and modern archaeological research, this new history takes a fresh look at the Roman Empire through the personalities and lives of key opponents during the trajectory of Rome's rise and fall.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50205666705681,"sku":"CIN1643136895VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52107154620689,"sku":"CIN1643136895G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1643136895.jpg?v=1751376843","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-de\/products\/enemies-of-rome-buch-stephen-kershaw-9781643136899","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
