"Here is a fresh, provocative look at how a recognizable Europe came into being in the first millennium AD. With sharp analytic insight, Peter Heather explores the dynamics of migration and social and economic interaction that changed two vastly different worlds--the undeveloped barbarian world and the sophisticated Roman Empire--into remarkably similar societies and states. The book's vivid narrative begins at the time of Christ, when the Mediterranean circle, newly united under the Romans, hosted a politically sophisticated, economically advanced, and culturally developed civilization--one with philosophy, banking, professional armies, literature, stunning architecture, even garbage collection. The rest of Europe, meanwhile, was home to subsistence farmers living in small groups, dominated largely by Germanic speakers. Although having some iron tools and weapons, these mostly illiterate peoples worked mainly in wood and never built in stone. The farther east one went, the simpler it became: fewer iron tools and ever less productive economies. And yet ten centuries later, from the Atlantic to the Urals, the European world had turned. Slavic speakers had largely superseded Germanic speakers in central and Eastern Europe, literacy was growing, Christianity had spread, and most fundamentally, Mediterranean supremacy was broken. The emergence of larger and stronger states in the north and east had, by the year 1000, brought patterns of human organization into much greater homogeneity across the continent. Barbarian Europe was barbarian no longer. Bringing the whole of first millennium European history together for the first time, and challenging current arguments that migration played but a tiny role in this unfolding narrative, Empires and Barbarians views the destruction of the ancient world order in the light of modern migration and globalization patterns. The result is a compelling, nuanced, and integrated view of how the foundations of modern Europe were laid"--Provided by publisher. "At the start of the first millennium AD, southern and western Europe formed part of the Mediterranean-based Roman Empire, the largest state western Eurasia has ever known, and was set firmly on a trajectory towards towns, writing, mosaics, and central heating. Central, northern and eastern Europe was home to subsistence farmers, living in wooden houses with mud floors, whose largest political units weighed in at no more than a few thousand people. By the year 1000, Mediterranean domination of the European landscape had been destroyed. Instead of one huge Empire facing loosely organized subsistence farmers, Europe - from the Atlantic almost to the Urals - was home to an interacting commonwealth of Christian states, many of which are still with us today. This book tells the story of the transformations which changed western Eurasia forever: of the birth of Europe itself"--Provided by publisher.

Die Publikation zeigt, dass Höhenstationen in einer breiten Zone von den Ardennen bis zu den Ost- und Südalpen während der Spätantike, im 3. und vor allem im 4./5. Jahrhundert, gewissermaßen beiderseits des ehemaligen römischen Rhein-Donau-Limes aufgesucht wurden. Einerseits wurden Höhen zu Befestigungen ausgebaut, andererseits verlegte die Elite gehobenen Lebensstil auf die Höhe. Dabei wurden in den Ost- und Südostalpen auch die Kirchen als ein Aspekt zentralörtlicher Funktionen aus der Ebene mit auf die Höhe verlegt. Deutlich wurde, dass Herrschaft und Repräsentation wesentliche Faktoren waren, um aus den Tälern auf die Höhen zu wechseln, weshalb möglichst auffällige und weithin sichtbare Berge ausgewählt wurden. Als zusätzliches bisher unbekanntes Phänomen wurde erkennbar, dass nördlich der Alpen während der späten Merowinger- und frühen Karolingerzeit diese Höhen erneut aufgesucht wurden. Die Gründe dafür müssen noch erforscht werden.Entscheidende archäologische Geländerforschungen und großflächige Ausgrabungen finden seit etwa 20 Jahren statt, zumal in manchen Gebieten diese Höhensiedlungen überhaupt erst in jüngster Zeit entdeckt worden sind.
