Between the deaths of the Emperors Julian (363) and Justinian
(565), the Roman Empire underwent momentous changes. Most
obviously, control of the west was lost to barbarian groups during
the fifth century, and although parts were recovered by Justinian,
the empire's centre of gravity shifted irrevocably to the east,
with its focal point now the city of Constantinople. Equally
important was the increasing dominance of Christianity not only in
religious life, but also in politics, society and culture. Doug Lee
charts these and other significant developments which contributed
to the transformation of ancient Rome and its empire into Byzantium
and the early medieval west. By emphasising the resilience of the
east during late antiquity and the continuing vitality of urban
life and the economy, this volume offers an alternative perspective
to the traditional paradigm of decline and fall.
