In this volume, Hugh Elton offers a detailed and up to date history of the last centuries of the Roman Empire. Beginning with the crisis of the third century, he covers the rise of Christianity, the key Church Councils, the fall of the West to the Barbarians, the Justinianic reconquest, and concludes with the twin wars against Persians and Arabs in the seventh century AD. Elton isolates two major themes that emerge in this period. He notes that a new form of decision-making was created, whereby committees debated civil, military, and religious matters before the emperor, who was the final arbiter. Elton also highlights the evolution of the relationship between aristocrats and the Empire, and provides new insights into the mechanics of administering the Empire, as well as frontier and military policies. Supported by primary documents and anecdotes, The Roman Empire in Late Antiquity is designed for use in undergraduate courses on late antiquity and early medieval history.

Alan Cameron (1938-2017) was one of the most remarkable and wide-ranging classical scholars of recent times. Beyond his central interests in the history and Latin and Greek literature of the later Roman empire, his scholarly work ranged from the Hellenistic age deep into the Byzantine period. But as Jas Elsner demonstrates in the introduction to this book, he also made a substantial contribution to the history of late Roman art. This collection was planned by Cameron himself, and brings together nineteen of his articles on late Roman art and archaeology written between the 1980s and 2017. Marked by Cameronâe(tm)s witty, accessible, and polemical style, they illustrate his developing views on the ivory diptychs of office holders, and offer fundamental discussions of silver plate, luxury manuscripts, gold glass, and sarcophagi. This book will be of interest not only to art historians, but to all specialists in the late Roman world.

In this volume thirty new studies have been specially commissioned from scholars in seven countries to treat key texts and cultural phenomena from the Homeric age to the medieval period. A wide variety of critical approaches are employed to challenge orthodoxies and to present fresh perspectives on the literature, art and history of classical antiquity, late antiquity and the middle ages. Attractive features of the volume include the treatment of newly emerging areas of inquiry in addition to canonical texts and the representation of views of established international scholars at the forefront of the discipline. A recurrent motif of the volume emerges in the interpretive benefits of combining philological acumen with theoretical and intertextual considerations. This accessible and provocative book will be of interest to classicists, historians, art historians, students of comparative literature, and anyone concerned with the immense cultural legacy of classical Mediterranean civilisation. Greek and Latin quotations are accompanied by translations throughout.
