The Barbarians Speak: How the Conquered Peoples Shaped Roman Europe

by Peter S Wells

The Celts and Germans who inhabited temperate Europe before the invasion of the Romans left no written record of their lives and Roman accounts dismiss them as barbarians. The material remains of the Iron Age, however, tell a different story - one of complex, evolved societies who reacted to the Roman presence with varying degrees of acceptance and resistance. Wells shows how indigenous societies, rather than remaining passive beneficiaries, actually helped to form the shape of the Roman Empire. 335p, 45 b/w figs (Princeton UP 1999, Pb 2001)
