The City of Carcassonne #228239

The Visigoths, among all the Barbarian peoples who invaded the East were those who assimilated most rapidly the remains of the Roman arts, at least with regard to military constructions and, indeed, those of Carcassonne are quite similar to those used about the end of Empire in Italy and in Gaul. They understood the value of the situation of Carcassonne and made it the center of their possessions in the narbonnaise.
