Terry Jones' Barbarians

So you think you know everything about the Romans? They gave us sophisticated road systems, chariouts, and the modern-day calendar. And of course they had to contend with barbarian hordes who continually threatened the peace, safety, and prosperity of their empire. Or did they? Terry Jones of Monty Python invites you on an entertaining expedition through Roman history from the perspective of the Barbarians. A rare blend of scholarly research combined with Jones' familiar iconoclastic brand of humor makes this a must for history enthusiasts as well as Monty Python fans. (Verleiher-Text)
