The Roman Empire at Bay is the only one volume history of the
critical years 180-395 AD, which saw the transformation of the
Roman Empire from a unitary state centred on Rome, into a new
polity with two capitals and a new religion-Christianity. The book
integrates social and intellectual history into the narrative,
looking to explore the relationship between contingent events and
deeper structure. It also covers an amazingly dramatic narrative
from the civil wars after the death of Commodus through the
conversion of Constantine to the arrival of the Goths in the Roman
Empire, setting in motion the final collapse of the western empire.
The new edition takes account of important new scholarship in
questions of Roman identity, on economy and society as well as work
on the age of Constantine, which has advanced significantly in the
last decade, while recent archaeological and art historical work is
more fully drawn into the narrative. At its core, the central
question that drives The Roman Empire at Bay remains, what did it
mean to be a Roman and how did that meaning change as the empire
changed? Updated for a new generation of students, this book
remains a crucial tool in the study of this period.
