Produktbeschreibung

The Roman Empire at Bay is the only one volume history of the critical years 180-395 AD, which saw the transformation of the Roman Empire from a unitary state centred on Rome, into a new polity with two capitals and a new religion-Christianity. Updated for a new generation of students, this book remains a crucial tool in the study of this period.
