Description

Although one half of the Roman Empire disintegrated in the chaotic fifth century, the most Greek eastern half somehow survived and recovered to be the wealthiest, most powerful, and sophisticated state in the early medieval world, envied and emulated by Charlemagne. The Rome that Did Not Fall provides a comprehensive narrative and analysis of the Roman empire in the east, charting its remarkable growth and development which resulted in the distinct and enduring civilisation of Byzantium. Part 1 - The fourth century background and the separation of the eastern and western empires Part 2 - The invasions of Attila Part 3 - The resources of the east, including the army, the economy, Constantinople and the God-protected state Part 4 - The struggle for stability Part 5 - Stability Attained and the achievements of Anastasius.
