The Alamanni and Rome focuses upon the end of the Roman Empire.
From the third century AD, barbarians attacked and then overran the
west. Some - Goths, Franks, Saxons - are well known, others less
so. The latter include the Alamanni, despite the fact that their
name is found in the French ('Allemagne') and Spanish ('Alemania')
for 'Germany'. This pioneering study, the first in English, uses
new historical and archaeological findings to reconstruct the
origins of the Alamanni, their settlements, their politics, and
their society, and to establish the nature of their relationship
with Rome. John Drinkwater discovers the cause of their modern
elusiveness in their high level of dependence on the Empire. Far
from being dangerous invaders, they were often the prey of emperors
intent on acquiring military reputations. When much of the western
Empire fell to the Franks, so did the Alamanni, without ever having
produced their own 'successor kingdom'.
