The Barbarians of Ancient Europe deals with the reality of the
indigenous peoples of Europe, in contrast to many publications that
explore these peoples in the context of the Greek idea of
'barbarians' as the 'Other'. These varied groups - Thracians,
Scythians, Celts, Germans, Etruscans, and other peoples of Italy,
the Alps, and beyond - had contact with one another and with Greek
culture during its flowering. Images on the spectacular gold and
silver objects buried in royal tombs show how the horse-riding
nomads and the barbarian women warriors known in antiquity as
Amazons saw themselves. Archaeological discoveries show how they
dressed, what they ate and drank, where they lived, and how they
honored their dead kings with barbaric splendor and human
sacrifices, allowing us to change, correct, or confirm the picture
given in Greek and Roman literature.
