Barbarians

I've been reading a great book by Terry Jones (yes, the Monty Python one) and Alan Ereira called "Barbarians: an alternative Roman history". Maybe the reason I love it so much is that there's a lot of new information for me in it. Growing up in Latin America, I never got a proper ancient european history course, therefore, the history of the Celts, Gauls, and the Germanic tribes -among others- is something I'm quite unfamiliar with. This is an awesome book, written from the perspective of the "barbarians", it talks about how the Roman Empire has made it through the history ,putting itself as the most "civilized" society of its time. Historical and archaelogical evidence presented by this book, suggest otherwise. In conclusion, it is an amazing book for people interested in the history of the so called barbarian tribes.
