Romans and Barbarians: The Decline of the Western EmpireUniv of Wisconsin Press, 2002 - Počet stran: 329 The Fall of the Roman Empire--from the barbarian's perspective Available for the first time in paperback, this classic work by renowned historian E.A. Thompson examines the fall of the Roman Empire in the West from the barbarian perspective and experience. Standard interpretations of the decline of the Roman Empire in the West view the barbarian invaders as destroyers. Thompson, however, argues that the relationship between the invaders and the invaded was far more complex than the common interpretation would suggest. This edition includes a new foreword by F.M. Clover and J.H.W.G. Liebeschuetz. |

Strana 308 - IIlyrico exules patriae Gothorum exilia fecerunt et nondum est finis. Quae omnium fames, lues pariter boum atque hominum ceterique pecoris, ut etiam, qui bellum non pertulimus, debellatis tamen pares nos fecerit pestilentia ! Ergo quia in occasu saeculi sumus, praecedunt quaedam aegritudines mundi.
