Summary
Terry Jones, Alan Ereira: Terry Jones' Barbarians
Terry Jones' novel Barbarians takes a completely fresh approach to Roman history. This is the story of the Roman Empire as seen by Britons, Gauls, Germans, Hellenes, Persians and Africans. Instead of the propaganda imposed on us by the Romans, we will see these people as they really were. The Vandals didn't vandalize - the Romans did. The Goths did not sack Rome - the Romans did. Traveling across the landscape of the Roman Empire, Terry Jones brings wit, sass and the latest scientific discoveries to transform a history that seemed long past its expiration date.
