Description
It tells the epic story of the rise and fall of the Roman Empire from the perspective of the barbarian leaders who brought it down. The Roman Empire called them "barbarians", savage tribes beyond the fringe of civilization. But they were also some of the fiercest warriors in history, men and women who rose up against absolute power so that they might live free, or die.

Description
In 430 AD, in the besieged city of Hippo, seventy year-old bishop Augustine recalls his reckless youth, his days as a renowned but dissolute orator, and how after converting to the guilt-free tenets of Manichaeism, he was called to the imperial court in Milan to serve as opponent to the Christian bishop Ambrose, but was finally converted to Christianity through the patience and devotion of his mother Monica.
