Has anybody here read Terry Jone's book <Barbarians: An alternative Roman History>? He may be a Monty Python, but his book is well cited and clear in source. He has casted much counter-arguments on the Romaioi's perspective of "Barbaroi"; implied how the One True Barbaroi are the Romaioi themselves: their whole existance subsists on killing and plundering all the other people....often more advance and sophistacated than themselves. He later on dips into Christianity and the likes, but I'll not mention them here lest I get burnt on a stake for herecy.

Who's read the book then? (Am I allowed to type up excerpts here?)
