Hardcore HistoryFeb 10, 2000
“Heather quotes Sedonius, writing at the time of what it was like to have German house guests, describing their habits and appearance.”
Sentiment: Critical Analysis
Trigger: civilized sacking of cities
For: Historians and students of ancient history
Key quote: “Peter Heather, who's an expert on this period in history in these peoples, listen to how he describes what happens after the Goths break into the city or are led into the city.”
The host references Peter Heather to highlight the contrasting behavior of the Visigoths during the sack of Rome, suggesting they exhibited a level of restraint not typical of barbarian invasions. This mention serves to challenge the preconceived notions of barbarism and civilization in historical contexts.
