A comprehensive study which introduces the reader to the vigour and
variety of the fourth century AD. After being beset by invasion,
civil war and internal difficulties for a century, the Roman Empire
that Diocletian inherited in AD 284 desperately needed the
organizational drive he brought to the task of putting its
administration and defences on a newly secure footing. His
successor, Constantine, sustained this consolidation of imperial
strength by adopting a vibrant new religion, Christianity. The
fourth century AD was a decisive period; its many new challenges
and wide cultural diversity are reflected in the pages of its chief
historian, Ammianus Marcellinus, and represented by figures as
different as Julian the Apostate and St Augustine. Not only
providing a vivid narrative of events, this book also draws on
archaeological and artistic evidence to illuminate such central
issues as economy, social structure, defence, religion and culture.
'The Later Roman Empire' is indispensable to students, and a
compelling guide for anyone interested in the cultural development
of late antiquity, or in the structure, evolution and fate of
empires more generally.
