A carefully researched study that examines the forces of post-Roman military powers of France and Britain during the 'Dark Ages'. It depicts their life and battles fought in detail. The collapse of the former western Roman Empire was gradual, with the emergence of local tribes and leaders seeking to liberate their kingdoms and expel the Roman presence. However, Roman garrisons survived in small pockets in France and Britain, resisting the Saxons until the 6th century in Britain and the Visigoths and Merovingian Franks until the 8th century in France. Structuring the archaeological findings, contemporary sculptures, and manuscript illustrations, Dr. Raffaele D'Amato presents contemporary evidence for the armies of the 'Dark Age' from the 5th to the 9th century. The text, accompanied by photographs and color illustrations, paints a detailed picture of the survival and adaptation of these scattered groups of Roman soldiers at the borders of the Roman Empire.
