Product Description
In its early centuries, the Roman Empire was a world of cities dominated by a landowning elite, sharing common features in their institutions, structures, and culture. What happened to the cities when the Empire collapsed after the crisis of the third century and later under external pressures? In this book, archaeologists and historians bring together two disciplines to answer this complex question. The previously accepted idea that cities declined everywhere by the fourth century now seems quite superficial. This book aims to explain why urban life continued in some places until the middle of the medieval period, while it disappeared in others. Anyone interested in the history and archaeology of the Late Roman Empire, or more generally in the city as a historical phenomenon, will find the subject of this book relevant. The City in Late Antiquity is the third volume in a series of three independent books published under the title "Studies on Leicester-Nottingham Ancient Society". The other books, "Rural and Urban in the Ancient World" and "The City in the Greek and Roman World," are also published by Homer Kitabevi.
