Un período clave de la historia europea es el de los siglos V y VI d.C., cuando el imperio romano de Occidente se estaba segregando en pequeños reinos independientes y en Oriente Constantinopla desarrollaba una rica y floreciente civilización urbana. Este período, que constituye la antesala del mundo medieval, es analizado en este libro desde la perspectiva del cambio cultural en relación con la polémica sobre el «declive y la caída del mundo antiguo». Un análisis exhaustivo y crítico de la ciudad tardorromana en el Mediterráneo y de sus aspectos económicos, culturales y religiosos hecho por una prestigiosa conocedora de la vida cultural y socioeconómica de la Antigüedad tardía. Este libro pone en duda muchos de los presupuestos teóricos y metodológicos que han dominado hasta ahora el estudio de la transición del mundo antiguo al feudalismo. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

This thoroughly revised and expanded edition of The Mediterranean World in Late Antiquity, now covering the period 395-700 AD, provides both a detailed introduction to late antiquity and a direct challenge to conventional views of the end of the Roman empire. Leading scholar Averil Cameron focuses on the changes and continuities in Mediterranean society as a whole before the Arab conquests. Two new chapters survey the situation in the east after the death of Justinian and cover the Byzantine wars with Persia, religious developments in the eastern Mediterranean during the life of Muhammad, the reign of Heraclius, the Arab conquests and the establishment of the Umayyad caliphate. Using the latest in-depth archaeological evidence, this all-round historical and thematic study of the west and the eastern empire has become the standard work on the period. The new edition takes account of recent research on topics such as the barbarian 'invasions', periodization, and questions of decline or continuity, as well as the current interest in church councils, orthodoxy and heresy and the separation of the miaphysite church in the sixth-century east. It contains a new introductory survey of recent scholarship on the fourth century AD, and has a full bibliography and extensive notes with suggestions for further reading. The Mediterranean World in Late Antiquity 395-700 AD continues to be the benchmark for publications on the history of Late Antiquity and is indispensible to anyone studying the period.
