Description
The Fall of Rome And the End of Civilization by Bryan Ward-Perkins The traditional view of the fall of Rome as a peaceful transformation into a new society is challenged by Bryan Ward-Perkins in this thought-provoking history. Ward-Perkins argues that the collapse of the Roman world was a time of horror and dislocation, resulting in a significant decline in the standard of living of its inhabitants. This book offers a fresh perspective on the end of the ancient world, combining a lively narrative with the latest research and thirty illustrations. Ward-Perkins examines both the wider explanations for the disintegration of the Roman world and the consequences for everyday Romans, who were caught in a world of marauding barbarians and economic collapse.
