First line

TODAY THE countryside east of the small city of Bramsche on the northern edge of the Teutoburg Forest in northern Germany is a quiet rural landscape of small villages, open fields, and patches of light woodland.

From the rear cover

"The Barbarians Speak is an important book. It is the first to address the question of Roman-native interaction in Europe from the perspective of anthropological archaeology rather than a historical form of archaeology, which privileges the Roman side of the story."--Peter Bogucki, Princeton University

"This book by Peter Wells has the potential to change the way we look at Europe during the years of the Roman Empire. All historians of the period should read it."--Colin M. Wells, Trinity University
