Description
This window on the mysterious world of the Dark Ages by a brilliant young historian is written as a practical survival guide for the use of civilised Greek visitors to the barbaric islands of Britain and Ireland around the year A.D. 500. It describes a journey which begins in Cornwall and continues through Wales and Ireland, then across to Scotland and eventually down to London and southern Britain. A.D. 500 is based squarely on archaeological and historical evidence, and reveals the range of different customs and beliefs that existed in post-Roman Britain. With the narrative of the Greeks providing a condescending and often hilarious running commentary on 'the barbarians', this journey through the islands provides a vivid and original picture of life in the Dark Ages.
