Description
A TIMES HISTORY BOOK OF THE YEAR ''Conventional histories of the last days of the Roman Empire will no longer suffice after you read this book.'' Averil Cameron, author of Byzantine Matters''Fascinating ... illuminating ... Stephenson examines ordinary life, painting a vivid and intriguing picture.'' The Times''Brings the world of New Rome alive with exceptional learning and a magnificent openness to modern scientific methods that breathe life into conventional narratives of political and social history.'' The New York Review of Books Long before Rome fell to the Ostrogoths in AD 476, a new city had risen to take its place as the beating heart of a late antique empire, the glittering Constantinople: New Rome. In this magisterial work, Professor Paul Stephenson charts the centuries surrounding this epic shift of power. He traces the cultural, social and political forces that led to the empire being ruled from a city straddling Europe and Asia, placing all into a rich natural and environmental context informed by the latest scientific research. Blending narrative with analysis, he shows how the city and empire of New Rome survived countless attacks and the rise of Islam. By the end, the wide world of linked cities had changed into a world founded on new ideas about government and God, art and war, and the very future of a Christian empire: Byzantium.
