Summary of Elisabeth Åsbrink's Made in Sweden

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The first mention of the Swedes was in 98 AD, when the Roman historian Tacitus wrote about them. They were a Germanic population living in the present Sweden. They were seafaring and warlike, and were sometimes posed as opposite to the Goths, another supposedly ancient group of people that may have formed the base of the present Swedish population.

#2 The first evidence of a people who call themselves Swedes emerges in the port of Piraeus, just outside Athens, in the first century AD. The ornamental message on the Piraeus Lion is the first evidence of people who consider themselves Swedes.
