So, that's bright, but what about the remains I talked about ?
And what about, by exemple, the constructions made by the vandales in north africa, mimics of romans constructions (monastry, basilics, mosaics, Romans villas...), restaurations of roman buidlings (thermes...) at a point archeologist have sometimes difficulties to distinguish who did what ?
Al that more than 100 years, before been reconquested by East Roman Empire ?
I do not deny the importance of roman empire, nor do I deny his power and cohesion, but I think we should not deny the structure of barbarian invaded lands either. If so, we take the risk to not be objective.
And then, deny the difference between coffe and donuts.
All the references I have are in french but if you are interested, I'll give it to you.
I just can give you the names of the historians from whom I take the theories :
- E. Gibbon
- Yves Modéran
- Alessandro Barbero
