The Fall of the Roman Empire: A New History of Rome and the Barbarians

RM41.00 MYR
The Fall of the Roman Empire: A New History of Rome and the Barbarians
The Fall of the Roman Empire: A New History of Rome and the Barbarians

Barbarian pressures unraveling Rome's imperial fabric.

If you're fascinated by the decline of grand civilizations or love a good historical puzzle, Peter Heather's *The Fall of the Roman Empire* could captivate you. Heather doesn't just recount events; he vividly redraws the map of Late Antiquity, giving faces and motives to the so-called barbarians. His argument that Rome's fall came from outside rather than within challenges established narratives, making you rethink history as a well-ordered story. This book's perspective might just reshape your understanding of empires.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

AD 378 saw the Roman army defeated at Adrianople, and within a century the Western Empire was deposed. In this groundbreaking history, Peter Heather offers a compelling new explanation for the fall of the Roman Empire. Merging authoritative analysis with vivid narrative, he traces the empire's fortunes from the imperial court to the frontiers and the forests of Barbaricum, arguing that Rome's long-term strength and enduring vulnerabilities were shaped by contact with its neighbours, whose transformation helped bring about the empire's collapse.
