The Inheritance of Rome by Chris Wickham
How could a world still so profoundly shaped by Rome and which encompassed such remarkable societies as the Byzantine, Carolingian and Ottonian empires, be anything other than central to the development of European history? This book discusses the collapse of Roman imperial system and the establishment of fresh European dynastic states.
'Chris Wickham is the leading expert on early medieval Europe, and [The Inheritance of Rome] is.. refreshingly different from all the traditional accounts ... a work of tremendous authority and breadth. With this book, as with Charlemagne's empire, one feels that an extraordinary range of things have been brought together, and that it may be a long time before they are united so successfully again' - Noel Malcolm, Sunday Telegraph
