About this listen
Generally considered to be J. B. Bury's magnum opus, this kaleidoscopic and assiduously accurate reconstruction of the Western and Eastern Roman empire covers the crucial years from the death of Theodosius in 395 to the death of Justinian in 565. This 170 year period reveals the forces and cross-currents which engulfed Constantinople, Rome, Antioch, along with the Germanic and Persian peoples. Various tribes like the Huns, Lombards, Ostrogoths, Visigoths, and Vandals are carefully investigated. Leaders and important literary and religious figures like Justinian, Procopius, Alaric, Attila, and Belisarius are covered in detail. This tumultuous epoch was to change Europe forever.
At the time of his death in 1927, J. B. Bury was easily the most honored English historian of his era. The plaudits for his intellectual and forensic ability continue to this day.
