Description

The Restoration of Rome: Barbarian Popes & Imperial Pretenders In 476 AD, the Roman Empire in Western Europe came to an end, but the legacy of Rome lived on. Over the next thousand years, great leaders sought to reignite the imperial flame and enjoy the benefits of Roman civilization. This book tells the story of how, in the eleventh century, the papacy was reinvented, allowing Europe's barbarians to create a new Roman Empire. From Theoderic to Charlemagne, and Justinian in between, these leaders played a crucial role in shaping the course of European history. A new Roman Empire was born, one that would endure for centuries. This book is a fascinating account of the sieges, sea battles, and palace coups that shaped this new empire, as well as the clever arguments about a universal European realm that lay beneath its surface. With its engaging narrative and insightful analysis, this book offers a fresh perspective on the enduring dream of a unified Europe.
