The Tragedy of Empire

In a bold and engaging history, Michael Kulikowski examines the two centuries (late fourth to late sixth) that saw the Western Roman Empire collapse while the Eastern Empire endured. He meticulously traces the complex interplay of changing imperial governance, the rise of new elites, devastating foreign invasions, and the transformative establishment of Christianity over traditional Roman and Greek religions. This authoritative account reveals the internal and external forces that shaped Rome's final years in the West.
