The Primitive Celts

The Primitive Celts

New series in which Terry Jones discovers untold truths about early cultures subjugated by Rome, drawing on archaeological evidence that has recently come to light. The first programme explores Julius Caesar's reasons for attacking the Celts in 58BC, revealing his motives had more to do with acquiring wealth than protecting the Empire

The Savage Goths

The Savage Goths

Terry Jones investigates claims that early Germans, Dacians and Goths were nothing but primitive brutes : a theory supported by their merciless besieging of Rome in 9AD. In contradiction however, he learns they were well-respected as exemplary fighters by their Roman counterparts, and played a major part in the defence of the Empire

The Brainy Barbarians

The Brainy Barbarians

In Greece and Iran, Jones argues that far from being a godless rabble of swarthy bruisers in tiny skirts, it seems the barbarians of Greece and Persia were peaceable boffins whose innate humanity saw them develop what were, in essence, welfare states.

The End of the World

The End of the World

Around 400AD two Barbarian babies were born. One would grow up to become the fiercest of them all - Attila the Hun. The other, Geiseric, led the greatest wreckers in history - the Vandals. Jones finds out that Roman civilisation wasn't entirely destroyed by the invasion of these tribes the and how the Roman Catholic Church survived to tell the Roman version of the truth.
