For centuries, Rome was one of the world's largest imperial powers,
its influence spread across Europe, North Africa, and the
Middle-East, its military force successfully fighting off attacks
by the Parthians, Germans, Persians and Goths. Then came the
definitive split, the Vandal sack of Rome, and the crumbling of the
West from Empire into kingdoms first nominally under Imperial rule
and then, one by one, beyond it. Imperial Tragedy tells the story
of Rome's gradual collapse. Full of palace intrigue, religious
conflicts and military history, as well as details of the shifts in
social, religious and political structures, Imperial Tragedy
contests the idea that Rome fell due to external invasions.
Instead, it focuses on how the choices and conditions of those
living within the empire led to its fall. For it was not a single
catastrophic moment that broke the Empire but a creeping process;
by the time people understood that Rome had fallen, the west of the
Empire had long since broken the Imperial yoke.
