In this volume, Hugh Elton offers a detailed and up to date history
of the last centuries of the Roman Empire. Beginning with the
crisis of the third century, he covers the rise of Christianity,
the key Church Councils, the fall of the West to the Barbarians,
the Justinianic reconquest, and concludes with the twin wars
against Persians and Arabs in the seventh century AD. Elton
isolates two major themes that emerge in this period. He notes that
a new form of decision-making was created, whereby committees
debated civil, military, and religious matters before the emperor,
who was the final arbiter. Elton also highlights the evolution of
the relationship between aristocrats and the Empire, and provides
new insights into the mechanics of administering the Empire, as
well as frontier and military policies. Supported by primary
documents and anecdotes, The Roman Empire in Late Antiquity is
designed for use in undergraduate courses on late antiquity and
early medieval history.
