ROM Und Die Barbaren Germany

The Migration Period, or the Barbarian Invasions, led to the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 and initiated the formation of new forms of governance throughout Europe, as well as the development of a multifaceted Romanesque-German culture. Early Christianity played a major role in the establishment of a new, post-antique world order. This catalog to a spectacular international exhibition provides a structured overview of these complex developments and contains superb illustrations of Roman and Barbarian artifacts, such as weapons, harnesses, jewelry, luxurious status symbols, functional objects of everyday use, cultic objects, and precious burial goods.
