Routledge - Romans, Barbarians, and the Transformation of Rome

Explore the deep changes that occurred during Late Antiquity in this academic volume from Routledge. This book examines how barbarian peoples integrated into the social, cultural, religious, and political structures of the Mediterranean world. It provides a detailed look at the processes that shaped identity during this period of history. This collection stems from the sixth biennial Shifting Frontiers in Late Antiquity Conference held at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The volume features 25 studies that offer new perspectives on historical transitions. By looking at these interactions, the text helps break down old stereotypes regarding the relationship between Romans and barbarian groups. This is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in ancient history and the evolution of the Roman world.
