Terry Jones' Barbarians by Terry Jones
Takes a fresh approach to Roman history. This book offers us the chance to see the Romans from a non-Roman perspective. It reveals that most of those written off by the Romans as uncivilized, savage and barbaric were in fact organized, motivated and intelligent groups of people, with no intentions of overthrowing Rome and plundering its Empire.
"'I wish all historical books written by non-historians were so informed, and all books by historians so well written' Dr Walter Pohl - Head of the Institute for Medieval History Research, Vienna Academy of Sciences 'I have enormously enjoyed this book - it is very lively and really does get to grips with perceptions of the Barbarians. It's just what we need to readdress the balance and to put the Romans in their correct perspective.' Barry Cunliffe, Professor of European Archaeology, University of Oxford"
