Why did Rome fall?Vicious barbarian invasions during the fifth century resulted in        the cataclysmic end of the world's most powerful civilization, and a 'dark age' for        its conquered peoples. Or did it? The dominant view of this period today is that the        'fall of Rome' was a largely peaceful transition to Germanic rule, and the start of        a positive cultural transformation.Bryan Ward-Perkins encourages every reader to        think again by reclaiming the drama and violence of the last days of the Roman        world, and reminding us of the very real horrors of barbarian occupation. Attacking        new sources with relish and making use of a range of contemporary 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, in a world        of economic collapse, marauding barbarians,and the rise of a new religious        orthodoxy. He also looks at how and why successive generations have understood this        period differently, and why the story is still so significant today.
