Professor Kaegi studies the response of the eastern half of the
Roman Empire to the disintegration of western Rome, usually dated
from the sack of the city of Rome in A.D. 410. Using sources from
the fifth and sixth centuries, he shows that the eastern empire had
a clear awareness of, interest in, and definite opinions on the
disasters that befell Rome in the west. Religious arguments, both
Pagan and Christian, tended to dominate the thinking of the
intellectuals, but economic and diplomatic activity also
contributed to the reaction. This reaction, the author finds, was
in a distinctly eastern manner and reflected quite naturally the
special conditions prevailing in the eastern provinces. Originally
published in 1968. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
