Terry Jones' Barbarians - The Savage Goths
"Roman writers have left us with an image of the Barbarians of the north - the Germans, Dacians and Goths - as hairy primitives. It was an image reinforced by the wholesale massacre of a Roman army in Germany in 9AD, and sealed by the so- called Sack of Rome in 410. Terry Jones reveals that far from being brutal savages, the Barbarians of the north were in fact much admired by Rome for their fighting prowess; they became crucial to the defence of the Roman Empire - and would eventually became as Roman as the Romans themselves."

Attention! Ne consultez surtout PAS les archives des mois précédents! En effet, je publie tant d'articles par jour que le contenu d'un mois est énorme, et de consulter un mois passé risque de faire crasher votre ordinateur. Utilisez plutôt la fonction "rechercher" et "sur le blog" tout en haut de la page ou la fonction "Search this blog" de Technorati dans la colonne de droite; ou mieux encore, utilisez la fonction "CATEGORIES" qui se trouve dans la colonne de droite. Je suis en train de travailler sur une éventuelle solution pour les archives mensuelles.
Caution! Do NOT consult the archives of past months! Indeed, I post so much every day that the content of any given month is enormous, and to consult any previous month could cause your browser or even your computer to crash. Better use the "search this blog" function - either at the top of the page or the Technorati one in the right-hand column. Better still, you could also consult the "CATEGORIES" in the right-hand column. I am currently working on a possible solution for the monthly archives.
