The decline of the Roman Empire has been a subject of fascination
and debate for centuries. In this original new work, Neil Christie
draws on numerous sources, interweaving the latest archaeological
evidence, to reconstruct the period's landscape and events. In the
process, he rethinks some of historians' most widely held and
long-established views: Was the Empire's disintegration caused
primarily by external or internal factors? Why did the Eternal City
of Old Rome collapse in the West, while the 'New Rome' of
Constantinople endured in the East? What was destroyed and what
remained of Roman culture after successive invasions by Vandals,
Goths, Huns and other 'barbarians', and what was the impact of the
new Christian religion? As Christie expertly demonstrates, the
archaeology of the late Roman period reveals intriguing answers to
these and other questions. Taking an innovative, interdisciplinary
approach that combines traditional historical methods and a unique
familiarity with the Empire's physical remnants, he uncovers new
aspects of Rome's military struggles, its shifting geography, and
the everyday lives of its subjects. Written in a clear, accessible
style, The Fall of the Western Roman Empire is a perfect
introduction for newcomers to the subject, and essential reading
for undergraduate students and specialists in archaeology and
ancient history.
