Taking example of Amin Maalouf's 'The Crusades Through Arab Eyes', do wyou guys know texts depicting Rome from the Barbarians' eyes, or what Rome represented for them? In short, does an alternate version of the Fall of Rome exist?
Well, we have Jordanes' The Origin and Deeds of the Goths . Jordanes was a Roman of Gothic extraction. The book is a summary of Cassiodorus' work, who similarly had a Roman-Gothic background.
Some of the book is pretty obviously fiction. Also, some of it seems to have ultimately used Roman sources, so it is a bit iffy to say this is from the 'barbarians' point of view.' It might be difficult to find something like that because these barbarians were very Romanised, just like Jordanes' own background.
