Walter Scheidel, Escape from Rome. The Failure of Empire and the Road to Prosperity
This is a long book with a big theory: that innate features in Europe’s geography and culture made it peculiarly empire-proof after the collapse of Rome, and that it is the failure of any empire to control Europe that best explains the exceptional technological, scientific and economic development which gave us the world we have today, in which the majority of us are ‘so much richer, healthier and better educated than our ancestors used to be’ (p…

Rome, Fall of
The Roman Empire did not fall until May 29, 1453, when a Turkish army under Mehmet the Conqueror marched into Constantinople.

Where Is the Archaeology and Iconography of Germanic Arianism
This article examines the evidence for Germanic ‘Arianism’ in the exceptionally well preserved buildings and mosaics of Ravenna. Despite theological differences, Arian iconography appears to be almost identical to that of the ‘Catholics’ (e.g. in depictions of Christ in S. Apollinare Nuovo and the Arian Baptistery). Different attitudes to God the Son are only really apparent when supported by texts. However, there are clear material traces of Cat…

Plague and the End of Antiquity
A History of the Later Roman Empire AD 284-641
As Stephen Mitchell explains in his Preface, and as his main title suggests, this substantial book is very much in the tradition of A.H.M. Jones's The Later Roman Empire 284–602 (also published by Blackwells, in 1964). It is explicitly not a history of the new ‘Late Antiquity’, but a work that ‘conforms to the older pattern of late Roman history’ (p. 7), with a focus that is firmly on the Roman state and on political and military events, rather t…
Chapter Nine. Jones and the late Roman Economy
This chapter is on Jones and the late Roman economy and it explains why his view of it was so pessimistic in his Later Roman Empire. Before judging as pessimistic Jones' minimalist assessment of late Roman commerce, one needs to view it in a broader context, and be aware of how he described the role of trade in earlier Roman times. In his 1959 article, ?Over-Taxation and the Decline of the Roman Empire?, rates of taxation, a shrinking of the Roma…

DIFFCULTIES AND EVIDENCE Writing about complexity within the economy of the fifth to the seventh century will never be straightforward, partly because there has been so much debate about the nature of the ‘classical’ Roman economy that preceded it. Was the ‘Roman economy’ really a series of local economies, linked into a broader structure only by the demands of the state and by some limited trade in luxury products? Or was it a unified system in …
Land, labour and settlement
THE ISSUES AND THE EVIDENCE The vast majority of the population of the Roman empire, as in all pre-modern societies, worked on the land. There is a great deal we would like to know about these people: exactly how many they were; how many others they fed (whether artisans, soldiers and clergy, or idle rich); which areas they cultivated, and with what crops and which methods; to what extent their agriculture was specialized and tied into commercial…
The Cambridge Ancient History
With Volume 14 The Cambridge Ancient History concludes its story. This latest volume embraces the wide range of approaches and scholarship which have in recent decades transformed our view of Late Antiquity. In particular, traditional political and social history has been enormously enhanced by integrating the rich evidence of Christian writing, and the constantly expanding results of archaeological research. A picture emerges of a period of cons…

Il Palatino Nel Medioevo
The cities
The Roman empire of the fourth and early fifth centuries remained, as it had always been, city-based, with political, religious and aristocratic life revolving around the civitates and around major capitals. Although their importance remained unchanged, the cities of the late empire differed in several obvious ways from the cities of the earlier Roman world. The three changes, in the political, military and religious role of the cities had a mark…

An article in volume xl of these Papers recorded something of the programme of work which is being undertaken by the British School at Rome, in collaboration with the Italian authorities, on the site of the earthquake-shattered medieval town of Tuscania, in the province of Viterbo some 90 kilometres north-west of Rome.

The Incised Architectural Drawings of Trogir Cathedral
The roofs over both aisles of the thirteenth-century cathedral at Trogir in Jugoslavia are covered in incised full-scale architectural drawings. These can be related to a number of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century additions to the cathedral: above all, the sacristy (1453–5), the baptistry by Andrea Alessi (1467), the Chapel of St. John by Andrea Alessi and Nicolò Fiorentino (1468–88), and the final storey and spire of the tower by Trifun Bokanit …
Excavation and Survey at Tuscania, 1972
On 6 February 1971 the small town of Tuscania, twenty miles west of Viterbo and the same distance north-east of Tarquinia, was the scene of a local but very violent earthquake, which killed a number of people and rendered much of the old town totally uninhabitable. Tuscania (until 1911 Toscanella) is best known to most visitors to Italy for its two magnificent medieval churches, that of San Pietro on the ancient acropolis and that of Santa Maria …
