Description

The fall of Rome and her vast Empire remains a focus of fascination and fierce debate. How rapid and how total was the Roman decay? How far was it external invaders and how far internal conflict that broke the back of Rome? Why did the eastern Empire, centred on the ‘New Rome’ of Constantinople, endure and the western one and its Eternal City of Old Rome fail? What was lost and what remained of the Roman fabric? And which of the many invaders – Alamanni, Franks, Quadi, Goths, Huns, Alans, Vandals – were the heirs? Neil Christie moves away from a traditional, history-dominated approach to the decline of the Roman Empire, to bring properly into play the archaeology of the period. Understanding the changing format of towns, defences, landscapes and armies across the various provinces, and examining the physical impact of the new religion of Christianity will enable a fuller reconstruction of the settlements and peoples of the western Roman Empire between the turbulent third and sixth centuries AD.
