Barbarians Rising

A brand-new commission exclusive to HISTORY®, Barbarians Rising tells the story of the rise and fall of the Roman Empire from the point of view of the rebel leaders. It is a visceral journey into the heart of the rebellions against Caesar's absolute power. The Roman Empire called them barbarians – tribes considered beyond the fringe of civilisation, living a violent existence. These were the men and women who launched the epic struggles that would shape the world to come. Barbarians Rising features some of history's greatest warriors portrayed by a top cast, including Hannibal, who vowed a blood oath at the age of nine; Arminius, the stolen son of Germany; Spartacus, the slave-turned-rebel who led a barbarian revolt; Boudica, the Celtic warrior Queen; Attila, Scourge of the East; the Goths, a fierce fighting people betrayed by the Empire; and the Vandals, the wandering raiders who dealt the final death blow to Rome.
