The Fall of the Western Roman Empire

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the decline of the Roman Empire, Neil Christie utilizes archaeological evidence to challenge established historical views on its disintegration. He explores the contrasting fates of Rome and Constantinople, examines the impact of invasions by various groups, and assesses the influence of Christianity on Roman culture. By merging traditional historical analysis with insights from the Empire's physical remnants, Christie reveals fresh perspectives on military struggles, geographical changes, and the daily lives of its inhabitants during this transformative period.
