Europe's Barbarians AD 200-600

Exploring the complexities of barbarian Europe, Edward James offers a nuanced historical account of the peoples beyond the Roman Empire's frontiers, often labeled as 'barbarians' by the Romans. He delves into their migrations, relationships with Romans, and the reasons behind their conversion to Christianity, drawing on archaeological evidence to challenge Roman biases. Covering groups like the Picts, Franks, and Huns, this work provides a comprehensive overview of the period leading to 600 AD, informed by the latest scholarly research. James, a trained archaeologist and historian, brings his expertise to this engaging narrative.
