Description

A sweeping historical account of the Later Roman Empire incorporating the latest scholarly research

In the newly revised 3rd edition of A History of the Later Roman Empire, 284-700, distinguished historians Geoffrey Greatrex and Stephen Mitchell deliver a thoroughly up-to-date discussion of the Later Roman Empire. It includes tables of information, numerous illustrations, maps, and chronological overviews. As the only single volume covering Late Antiquity and the early Islamic period, the book is designed as a comprehensive historical handbook covering the entire span between the Roman Empire to the Islamic conquests.

The third edition is a significant expansion of the second edition--published in 2015--and includes two new chapters covering the seventh century. The rest of the work has been updated and revised, providing readers with a sweeping historical survey of the struggles, triumphs, and disasters of the Roman Empire, from the accession of the emperor Diocletian in AD 284 to the closing years of the seventh century. It also offers:

  • A thorough description of the massive political and military transformations in Rome's western and eastern empires
  • Comprehensive explorations of the latest research on the Later Roman Empire
  • Practical discussions of the tumultuous period ushered in by the Arab conquests
  • Extensive updates, revisions, and corrections of the second edition

Perfect for undergraduate and postgraduate students of ancient, medieval, early European, and Near Eastern history, A History of the Later Roman Empire, 284-700 will also benefit lay readers with an interest in the relevant historical period and students taking a survey course involving the late Roman Empire.
