The Roman Empire was one of the largest and most enduring in world
history. In his new book, distinguished historian W. V. Harris sets
out to explain, within an eclectic theoretical framework, the
waxing and eventual waning of Roman imperial power, together with
the Roman community's internal power structures (political power,
social power, gender power and economic power). Effectively
integrating analysis with a compelling narrative, he traces this
linkage between the external and the internal through three very
long periods, and part of the originality of the book is that it
almost uniquely considers both the gradual rise of the Roman Empire
and its demise as an empire in the fifth and seventh centuries AD.
Professor Harris contends that comparing the Romans of these
diverse periods sharply illuminates both the growth and the
shrinkage of Roman power as well as the Empire's extraordinary
durability.
