Walter Goffart

Barbarian Tides

The Migration Age and the Later Roman Empire

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Barbarian Tides radically subverts the grand narrative of a "Germanic" migration and reinvents the role of barbarians in the Later Roman Empire. Goffart sets out how the fragmented foreign peoples once living on the edges of the Empire participated with the Romans in the larger stirrings of late antiquity.
