About this title

Synopsis

Here, eminent historian Bryan Ward-Perkins portrays the fall of Rome as a time of horror and dislocation that destroyed a great civilization, throwing the West back to a standard of living typical of prehistoric times. Attacking contemporary theories with relish and making use of modern archaeological evidence, he looks at both the wider explanations for the disintegration of the Roman world and also the consequences for the lives of everyday Romans. Featuring the latest research, this brilliantly written and illustrated narrative reclaims the drama, the violence, and the tragedy of the fall of Rome.
