ISBN10: 0195044584, ISBN13: 9780195044584, [publisher: Oxford University Press Inc, New York] Softcover Paperback. In this innovative study, Patrick Geary rejects traditional conceptions of European history to present the Merovingian period (ca. 400-750) as an integral part of Late Antiquity. Mapping the complex interactions of a volatile era, he formulates an original interpretation not only of Merovingian history but of the Romano-barbarian world, tracing the Romanization of barbarians and the barbarization of the Romans which ultimately made these populationsindistinguishable. This book draws together the latest archaeological and historical findings to elucidate one of the least understood but crucial periods of European history, the time of the Merovingian Empire (c. 400-700 AD).
