But This Only Tells One Side Of The Story. Who Were The Celts, Goths, Huns, And Persians Met By The Romans As They Marched North And East? What Were The Political, Military, And Social Institutions That Made Rome So Stable, Allowing Its Power To Be Wielded Against These Different Cultures For Nearly Three Centuries? What Role Did Those Institutions Themselves Play In Assimilating Barbarian Peoples? These 36 Engaging Lectures Tell The Story Of The Complex Relationship Between Each Of These Native Peoples And Their Roman Conquerors As They Intermarried, Exchanged Ideas And Mores, And, In The Ensuing Provincial Roman Cultures, Formed The Basis Of Western European Civilization.

Professor Harl Brings To Life The Institutions That Shaped Both Rome And Her Relationship With, And Assimilation Of, The Barbarians At Her Constantly Expanding Frontiers. You'Ll Come Away With A New Appreciation Of How Our Western World Came To Be And Detailed Knowledge About The Individuals From Royalty To Barbarian Who Played Key Roles In That Process.
