Out Of Chaos

Beskrivelse

Explore the dramatic upheaval following the fall of the Roman Empire, a time when Europe was thrown into chaos by wars, power struggles, and mass migrations. This turbulent era ultimately gave rise to a new Europe, reshaping the continent's future.

A vivid exploration of the Migration period and the birth of a new European order.

After the Roman Empire's collapse in the 4th and 5th centuries AD, Europe was engulfed in a crisis unlike any before. Endless conflicts, fierce battles for control, and waves of refugees swept across the land, leaving the ancient world in ruins. Yet, from this turmoil, a fresh Europe emerged.

Ten passionate experts bring this fascinating but often overlooked chapter of European history to life, focusing on the Migration period. The story begins in the eastern regions along the Danube River, in what is now Romania and Hungary. Here, during the 4th and 5th centuries, the Huns, Goths, and later the Gepids fought for dominance, carving out new, though temporary, realms as Roman power waned and the balance of power in Europe shifted dramatically.

The book also delves into developments in Scandinavian society during this era, revealing how new powerful kingdoms arose there, influenced by the political changes farther south.

Out of Chaos is richly illustrated and perfect for anyone eager to understand how the foundations of modern Europe were laid. It was published in connection with the Moesgaard Museum’s exhibition of the same name.
