Terry Jones' Barbarians

Terry-Jones-Barbarians

Perhaps it's because he was Welsh?

Terry Jones of Monty Python fame was scathing about the supposed civilization of the Romans. In Terry Jones' Barbarians, he and co-writer Alan Ereira wrote "We've all been sold a false history of Rome that has twisted our entire understanding of our own history – glorifying (and glossing over) a long era of ruthless imperial power, celebrating it for the benefit of Renaissance tyrants and more modern empires, and wildly distorting our view of the so-called 'Middle Ages' and all of the peoples whom Rome crushed and who were then blamed for its fall."

Well said.
