In this original new work Neil Christie draws on numerous sources interweaving the latest archaeological evidence to reconstruct the period's landscape and events. In the process he rethinks some of historians most widely held and long - established views: Was the Empire's disintegration caused primarily by external or internal factors? Why did the Eternal City of Old Rome collapse in the West while the New Rome of Constantinople endured in the East? What was destroyed and what remained of Roman culture after successive invasions by Vandals Goths Huns and other barbarians' and what was the impact of the new Christian religion? As Christie expertly demonstrates the archaeology of the late Roman period reveals intriguing answers to these and other questions. Taking an innovative interdisciplinary approach that combines traditional historical methods and a unique familiarity with the Empire's physical remnants he uncovers new aspects of Rome's military struggles its shifting geography and the everyday lives of its subjects.
