Terry Jones' Barbarians

by Terry Jones

Accompanying a 4-part BBC2 TV series, this is the story of Roman history as seen by the Britons, Gauls, Germans, Hellenes, Persians and Africans. It presents accounts, such as: the Vandals didn't vandalize - the Romans did. Attlia the Hun didn't go to Constantinople to destroy it, but because the emperor's daughter wanted to marry him.
