This book's purpose is to prove the thesis that the Barbarians were not given 1/3 the land of the Roman provinces they initially took over, but got the 1/3rd in Tax Money instead. It's slow going and a little dull. The English translation from German sounds a little turgid, but I don't know German. If you have to read it; read it. If not you may wish to look at Peter Heather's The Fall of The Roman Empire. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Despite intermittent turbulence and destruction, much of the Roman West came under barbarian control in an orderly fashion. Goths, Burgundians, and other aliens were accommodated within the provinces without disrupting the settled population or overturning the patterns of landownership. Walter Goffart examines these arrangements and shows that they were based on the procedures of Roman taxation, rather than on those of military billeting (the so-called hospitalitas system), as has long been thought. Resident proprietors could be left in undisturbed possession of their lands because the proceeds of taxation,rather than land itself, were awarded to the barbarian troops and their leaders.
