BBC : Terry Jones' Barbarians - 2of4 - The Savage Goths (2006)
___ General Information : _____________________________________________________
* Series Information
Terry Jones' Barbarians takes a completely unique approach to Roman history. No
one nowadays would try to tell the story of the British Empire from the point of
view of the British, but it's still the case that the story of the Roman Empire
is always told from the perspective of Rome. Well, not any more!
This is the story of Roman history as seen by the Britons, Gauls, Germans,
Hellenes, Persians and Africans. And suddenly the Romans don't look at all
familiar. In place of the propaganda spectacles the Romans pushed on our noses,
we'll see these people as they really were. The Vandals didn't vandalize - the
Romans did. The Goths didn't sack Rome - the Romans did.
Attlia the Hun didn't go to Constantinople to destroy it, but because the
emperor's daughter wanted to marry him. Show an Asterix comic to an ancient Gaul
and - surprise, surprise - he wouldn't realise that it was supposed to be about
him. His life was more sophisticated than a Roman's, not more primitive.
Terry Jones travels round the geography of the Roman Empire - through Europe and
Africa - bringing wit, irreverence, passion and the very latest scholarship to
transform a history that seemed well past its sell-by date, and make it relevant
to living with the new American world empire.
Episode 2: The Savage Goths
According to Rome, the barbarians from Germany were among the most brutal of
all. But when it came to brutality, it was not the Germans but the Romans who
were the masters.
