Best Answer

Gaul was invaded by a wave of several Germanic groups (the Vandal, the Sueves, and the Burgundians) and one Iranian-speaking group, the Alans. These groups came from Central Europe. The Alemanni from southern Germany took advantage of these invasions to take over northeastern Gaul. The Franks had been allowed to settle in southern Holland and Belgium by the Romans before these invasions.

What happened before the middle ages?

From a historical standpoint it is commonly referred to as "ancient history" and lasted (roughly) from 3500 BC to 900 AD.

The "iron age" was preceded by the "bronze age" and before that the "copper age".


What did ancient Romans look like?

Ancient Rome was founded about 753 BC and ended in the AD 400s. The city of Rome grew to become a marvel for its times with temples, theaters, fountains, statues, and public baths. Most people in the city of Rome lived in apartment type houses called insulas. In the countryside people lived in villas. Soldiers were stationed in forts in outlying areas that had been conquered by Rome.A lot about Ancient Rome can be found by looking at the city of Pompeii, and Herculanium which was destroyed (and preserved in a way) by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. There is a Eye witness made by Pliney the Younger who was watching his uncle Pliney the Elder was dieing in PompeiiThis is a large subject to cover, but as a starting point I would suggest you look in the archives of Dan Carlin's "Hardcore History" website at http://www.dancarlin.com/disp.php?page=hharchive.
