Who were people of the ancient world? What was it like to be a farmer or a soldier or an artisan in ancient times? This series creates portraits of life in ancient civilizations through the inhabitants. Each chapter focuses on a different part of society, such as peasants, scholars/scribes, priests, soldiers, rulers, and more. The Vikings were a group of peoples who lived in northern Europe, particularly the area that today is Scandinavia, from the eighth century to the eleventh century. While they were best known as fierce warriors, the Vikings also created a system of law and produced numerous literary works.
