In 400 the mighty Roman Empire was almost as large as it had
ever been; within three centuries, advances by Germanic peoples in
western Europe, Slavs in eastern Europe and Arabs around the
eastern and southern shores of the Mediterranean had brought about
the loss of most of its territory. Ranging from Britain to
Mesopotamia, this book explores the changes that resulted from
these movements. It shows the different paths away from the
classical past that were taken, and how the relatively unified
civilization of the ancient Mediterranean gave place to the very
different civilizations that cluster around the sea today.
This comprehensive and authoritative second edition has been
thoroughly revised and updated line-by-line, and contains several
new sections dealing for instance with the new evidence provided by
recent finds like the Staffordshire Treasure and the widespread
effects of the plague. As well as a completely new bibliographical
essay, "The Roman Empire Divided "now also includes six maps and an
expanded selection of illustrations fully integrated in the
text.
