商品簡介
The 17 papers in this collection emerged from two sessions at the May 2005 International Congress on Medieval Studies, held in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Historians and archaeologists profile some ancient and medieval barbarians that have been little studied. They include the backcountry Balts (Aesti) and the Northern Gold in late antiquity and the early Middle Ages, a Hun-age burial with male skeleton and horse bones found in Budapest, archaeological evidence for Gepids in the Balkans, the Justinianic Hercules from allied barbarians to Roman provincials, the Visigoth connection to Suevic coins and kings 418-456, and the Vandal's path to an African kingdom.
