How did Roman Britain end? This new study draws on fresh
archaeological discoveries to argue that the end of Roman Britain
was not the product of either a violent cataclysm or an economic
collapse. Instead, the structure of late antique society, based on
the civilian ideology of paideia, was forced to change by the
disappearance of the Roman state. By the fifth century elite power
had shifted to the warband and the edges of their swords. In this
book Dr Gerrard describes and explains that process of
transformation and explores the role of the 'Anglo-Saxons' in this
time of change. This profound ideological shift returned Britain to
a series of 'small worlds', the existence of which had been hidden
by the globalizing structures of Roman imperialism. Highly
illustrated, the book includes two appendices, which detail Roman
cemetery sites and weapon trauma, and pottery assemblages from the
period.
